I'm beginning to see the picture... I'm guessing the way it was ported to linux was via a kernel module, or something, or else we'd have the source. Anyway, i guess i'm just going to go get another card... I know supposedly SB PCI cards are supported, atleast in the newpcm in 4.0-current. Does that include the PCI 128/512 etc? I saw you can get those for like $35 now. And then i'll probably put together an old POS windows system, with the Live, for playing mp3s and DVD's :P In any case, thanks for the responces :) --- Cosmic 665 <the_hermit665@hotmail.com> wrote: > Creative Labs Isn't about to change their attitude > on anything.
