Vista Makes Creative Labs Dupe Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| According to the ALSA's Sound Card Support Matrix, the Creative Labs
| Sound Blaster X-Fi series still lacks any form of support from
| their open-source driver. The only path for Linux support at this
| time is purchasing the OSS driver from 4Front Technologies, but
| OSS is only rumored to support the X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
