I've been grepping through the mailing list archives and haven't found much 
recent conclusive information about emu10k1 support under FreeBSD 4.x (well, 
4-STABLE specifically).  I have a PCI SoundBlaster Live! (first revision), 
and I'd like to see better driver support (digital I/O, etc.).  The current 
emu10k1 driver works for me and gets me pretty decent OSS functionality, but 
access to the optical or S/PDIF digital I/O would be spiffy, not to mention 
the separate rear-channel outputs.  Is anyone currently on this?  Is there 
any more information on whether or not the Linux driver will be able to be 
ported?

Also, while this is not an immediate concern, eventually I'd like to get 
access to the wavetable synthesis capabilites of the card.  While Creative's 
drivers don't allow this under Linux, there are ALSA drivers that include 
both support for the MPU401-emulation and the more card-specific MIDI 
controls; anyone looked at those?

If this is of limited interest to the community, I may break code on a port 
myself.  I'd really like to get this working. :-)
