ASUS' Xonar STX Gains Even More Functionality Under Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Ever since ASUS first released its Xonar 
| line-up of cards, I knew I had to have one. 
| But, being that I use Linux as a primary OS, 
| I knew that the chance of me finding good 
| support was slim. Well, that support may 
| have taken a couple of months in the 
| beginning to come to fruition, but since 
| then, the open-sourced ALSA drivers have 
| come to support every Xonar model available, 
| along with many of their specific features.

| The point of this tale? It just underlines the 
| fact that the entire IT industry is built on 
| overpriced products and services. People 
| working in the business get away with it 
| because IT is a complex business - and they 
| are very good at making it seem even more 
| complex than it is.

| Google sure is in the thick of news these
