[linux-audio-user] Ack: good sound card

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  Two items:

    Someone asked about the distribution rights for 8mbgmsfx.sf2 font.
It comes from one of Creative's discs shipped with the Live, so I'd be
cautious about redistributing it without Creative's permission. OTOH
maybe they don't care...

    IMO the Fluid font is nicer:

    Look under Sounds/SoundFont Library/Collections, you'll find it.
It's big but definitely worth the download time.

Best regards,
