It is true that the Vibra16X is NOT supported in full-duplex mode in Linux,
*BSD, or OSS commercial. This is because the Vibra16X is a strange cookie and
Creative Labs doesn't even appear to have documentation for this card (how the
hell they wrote a windows driver I don't know - Alan had a contact in C.L. a
few years ago and that guy couldn't find the needed docs). So we're SOL on
that
front. I've recently recieved one of these cards from a fellow Linux user in
Canada for the purpose of attempting to figure out full-duplex operation of
the
card and implementing it in Linux. I am currently (with some success) reverse
engineering the windows driver to figure out how it ticks. I'm keeping a
journal of my progress and will post to this list when I have something worth
talking about :)
