I have a PCI SoundBlaster Live! (first revision)= ,=20 and I'd like to see better driver support (digital I/O, etc.). The curre= nt=20 emu10k1 driver works for me and gets me pretty decent OSS functionality, = but=20 access to the optical or S/PDIF digital I/O would be spiffy, not to menti= on=20 the separate rear-channel outputs. Is anyone currently on this? Is ther= e=20 any more information on whether or not the Linux driver will be able to b= e=20 ported? Also, while this is not an immediate concern, eventually I'd like to get=20 access to the wavetable synthesis capabilites of the card. While Creativ= e's=20 drivers don't allow this under Linux, there are ALSA drivers that include= =20 both support for the MPU401-emulation and the more card-specific MIDI=20 controls; anyone looked at those? If this is of limited interest to the community, I may break code on a po= rt=20 myself. I'd really like to get this working. :-) -Cliff L.
