I am trying to setup my new linux system in a way that I will be happy with it when it comes to (de)encoding and playing .ogg files. I wish to buy a sound-card to which I can attach good-quality speakers, like the ones I have my hi-fi connected to. I do not intend to use it for sound input at all or any other function besides this one; but I need it to allow the speakers to faithfully reproduce the content of my .ogg files. Can you offer any recommendation(s)? A question I am really curious about is whether all current sound cards working under Linux output sound equally well, and just differ in their input-processing / game-playing capabilities / etc, or they are also different in what concerns output-quality. Thank you for your hindsight, Joane Lispton _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sound" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
