I had a SBLive something, wich is pre-Extigy. I never had the problem he 
describes, at least not to that extent. Sound quality may have been 
poor, but only in an audiophile point of view, generally it sounded good 
enough and there were no audible regressions of the upper frequencies or 
any other artifacts. This was on windows, linux, jack and any other 
program I used. Jack had a problem with resampling, but this was totally 
different.

PS: Lee: I'm not saying you're not right about the resampler in alsa, 
but my experience with an older Creative card suggests that this is not 
the problem for Bearcat.
