I have made the comment line as exact copy of the Creative marketing as 
possible, so that people can provide better feedback.
E.g. I see [SB0438] and know exactly which card the user has and the 
"Live! by MSI" tells the user exactly what they have, and it should 
match the box the sound card came in for easy identification.

In this case, the CA0106 is part of the motherboard.
I suppose I could replace "Live! by MSI" with "MSI motherboard XYZ"

I will ask the bug reporter for that information.
