I seem to recall someone mentioning that Creative Labs was working on drivers for Linux. I also seem to recall that same someone saying they use the PCI128 card. www.freebsd.org has been inaccessible for the past hour or so I can't check the mail archives for you. If you want to look for yourself, search the -questions archive for Creative Labs and/or PCI128. The message was quite recent. >I'd like to be able to transfer audio data from my Sony MiniDisc >Recorder via the (optical) digital outputs direct to the computer.

I've never heard of an optical output for audio hardware. Was the "optical" in reference to the nature of the media? Are you possibly referring to SPDIF or I2S? >Please cc replies directly to my email, as I'm not subbed to the list.
