The opensrc.org entry is newer. However, the snd-ca0106 driver doesn't know the VX model; there are reports that playback on the VX does not work at all (white noise) unless the card was initialized by the Windows driver, then rebooted into Linux. > so the question now is, which of these two - SB 5.1 VX or Asus Xonar. > I have a debian stable (lenny) w/ 2.6.26 old kernel and I would prefer > if the card were already supported by that kernel, so I dont need to > make any changes to the system any more. The Xonar D1 has a not-buggy driver since 2.6.27. I don't know Debian, but it looks as if newer backported kernels are available. HTH Clemens
