Re: SBLive! and 5.1
With Creative's driver, you need OSS - in the kernel you should have sound card support and OSS sound modules support enabled (or as a module). Here's a little script that'll do most of the work for you:
-Paul
$ cat update-sblive
----
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/src
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.emu10k1.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emu10k1
cvs login
cvs -z3 co emu10k1
cd /usr/local/src/emu10k1
echo "*** OLD CONFIGURATION FILE:"
cat config
echo "*** REPLACING CONFIGURATION FILE WITH NEW CONFIGURATION:"
echo "
# Driver build options
KERNEL_SOURCE :=/usr/src/linux
DEBUG := n
SEQUENCER_SUPPORT := y
# say no unless you need to use the dbgemu tool,
# note that this allows users raw access to any register
# it should not be used in a normal driver.
DBGEMU := n
export KERNEL_SOURCE
" > config
cat config
rm config.cache
make clean
make
sudo make install -i
make tools
make install-tools

I've got a platinum5 and the drivers are really awesome -- they allow you to totally customize the routing, allowing your card to act as multiple sound cards. The beeps, etc for out analog rear, xmms/dvd go out analog front and digital!. :)
