Should work fine.  I was using a 2200S, which uses the same aac driver=20=

under 5-CURRENT on amd64 a while back before I downgraded to i386=20
version.

And I have a 2410SA (same aac driver)  working on an i386 machine with=20=

5.2.1 or something like that :-) now.   I know that that is not a 64bit=20=

machine but according to Scott Long sometime back, the aac driver is 64=20=

bit clean.

Maybe the asr driver is not 64bit ok but the aac one seems to be fine
