yiiipeeeeeiiiii
That was good new indeed.
Creative have even set up a Linux development page at
http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/ and made a mailinglist for Linux
related Creative news, subscription information is at the webpage.
Have anyone tried the driver yet?
The Live! value I got with my new Linux PC at work was promptly swapped
with an AWE64 in a windozzzz machine so I cannot test it myself at the
moment.
I'm especially interested in the optical Toslink in/out on the non Value
version of the card.
As soon as that's working I'm buying such a card for my home, so I can
finally get all my music as MP3's on a harddrive, so i can listen to
whatever I want, in whatever order I want it to appear, and completely
forget about handling small boxes or round things whenever I want to hear
music.
I already have an optical Toslink fibre running from the digital output of
a Pioneer CDROM drive to a HiFi grade DAC that's connected to a normal
stereo system.
I want a fibre from the Linux box to the DAC by the amp so I can place
them wherever I want and listen to MP3 and ra in top quality, and I want a
fibre running the other way (the DAC unit does also include an ADC) so I
can record audio from the turntable, cassette player or radio as MP3's
without loosing any quality.
