Hi there,

I have a client who has an Aureal Vortec-2 8830 PCI.  The machine was
originally a Windows box, now running 3.4-STABLE from about a month ago.

On my 4.0 machine, I see aureal.c, so I assume an upgrade would be
necessary to get any support whatsoever (especially after multiple
configuration attempts without a successful probe on 3.4).  My question,
though, is, is the Vortec-2 supported?  Or is the first generation only
supported?  (Or, does anyone know if the -2 is backward compatible with
the -1?  This is the single speaker-out model).  The only answers in the
mailing lists that I found were a few months old, and I didn't bother
checking commit history, but aureal.c/h are dated at the end of Jan.

So, is it worth the upgrade?  (No need to start another thread on the
stability of 4.0.. this is a non-critical desktop machine :-)

Thanks,
- Ryan
