I would like to ask to update the soundcard matrix. Any soundcard using a AU88x0 chip is supported. At last, any bug reports are gladly welcome, and anyone owning a Aureal AU88x0 soundcard are invited to test this new driver, which was written from scratch, but supports many more features than the old binary driver (hardware EQ), and more important than that, doesn't hang your computer on any chipset (via+nvidia ...) like the old binary driver did. Anyone who wants to contribute, are gladly welcome to the Openvortex project. There is much fun stuff coming, like hardware A3D (yeah, i mean 3D audio spatialization) support and wavetable. Maybe some day this can be extended to other soundcards too (ESS maestro3 support HRTF's ?). Its very disappointing to not have any working 3D audio interface today, being HRTF's such an old technology.
