[linux-audio-user] Re: Audigy 6.1 platinum and Linux

Hello. Before anyone buys Creative's Platinum cards, I would
like to tell how they most probably are not working. Multiple
times I have tried to verify this with alsa-devel guys, but
it looks like nobody else has tested. People only believes
that their card is working but in reality it is not working
as expected. If you disagree and have better info, please
mail me and I will give you exact info how to test the card.
I mean exact! We do not need anymore rumors and believes.

Do not work in Alsa:
 -LiveDrive line-in 2 does not come out from the mix bus, but does
  come out via AC97 (whatever) path (perhaps low quality)
 -LiveDrive aux input does not work

Has anyone tested the developer.creative.com drivers?
How to test them with Alsa? I don't want install OSS.

Can somebody test both Alsa and the d.c.c drivers?

Best regards,

Juhana
