ALSA supports this card, so I'm porting driver to BSD now but it goes very slow, I have not much time for it :( DG> I've sent a note to M-Audio asking about drivers and technical specs, but DG> have yet to hear a response.

In Russia it costs about 1.5 times more than Aud2 ($100 for Audigy2, not platinum version and $160 for Rev 7.1), buty it have MUCH BETTER sound, than any Creative's crap. Also, I've used Audiophile 2496 from M-Audio, brilliant sound too, and much better recording, but no 7.1 support and costs about $200 here. -- Lev Serebryakov
