   that's ok, I don't think everything has
to be   understandable by a newbie,
 it's not the wording of what's there that
is a problem, it's   the missing
 information that's a problem (I just sent an
update about   what functionality
 I have found missing in sb live, I guess more of
that should   be available
 (for other cards) as well). 
 just as a sort-of aside, i would note that a discussion on the
 vst-plugins list right now points out that the windows creative
 drivers for the audigy *do not* work in ASIO mode with ACPI turned
 on. to make them work, its necessary to "install the drivers in
 standard mode", whatever that means. 
  and I can't make rca inputs work in windows as well:-) in fact they work
even less than in linux - in linux the sound at least gets through the card
and I can hear it (not record it though) but in win98 they seem to be
completely dead.
...
  this information is not available on the creative web
site. ALSA is
 not alone in this type of failure to document missing or incorrect
 functionality, and our existence as an open community makes it more
 likely that, with the correct documentation infrastructure, we can
 ensure that it gets added in a timely way. 
  yes, and to prove it I have already send an update and it's already on the
page!
