and which are those? I know of no way to get information about how

much useless for this purpose (as far as I can tell).
BTW creative provides some linux support. Plus the sound matrix at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ doesn't say there are problems getting
docs from manufacturer.
except of the blocking of sounds (the problem
mentioned
above) I am quite
dissapointed by functionality of linux drivers I
have
tried, I have sb live
platinum and (last time I checked):
Maybe you should buy cards from companies that care about
Linux support. You seem to be forgetting that most of the drivers are
written by
volunteers working without documentation.
no I don't. I am not saying somebody should go and fix my problems. I was
just ranting because I am frustrated and I hope it will provide semi-useful
feedback to somebody... (and somebody will go and fix my problems:-)
possibly... and we were talking about acceptance of linux audio.
