Yes, I wish I understood device driver programming better (i.e., better than "not at all" :-). I would gladly volunteer to take this over. I've got a nice Yamaha synth (keyboard) sitting here just gathering dust since I quit using Windows altogether (used to use it with Cakewalk). I considered switching over to one of the Linux distros just to be able to make use of it, but I just can't bring myself to part with my beloved FreeBSD. :-) > > Which of the Creative cards would you recommend as "best"? > > I'd love to try this! > I'm not sure what you can find in your local shops...
