Re: [LAU] (no subject)

I have two Ubuntu computers, one running 8.04 and the other running 9.04. Since Ubuntu is said to offer a RT kernel and a version that has been customized for audio work, I was surprised to find that it is not so easy to configure audio in Ubuntu. Debian recognized my SoundBlaster audigy card immediately and used it. For Ubuntu the small app that is supposed to select the sound card doesn't seem to do anything. So I started asking questions of Google and found that there are a number of people who are having difficulty configuring Soundblaster on Ubuntu. It looks to be a chronic problem. Aside from that SlashDot.org had a link to this last week, although it seems to be vintage 2007. http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/05/welcome_to_the_jungle.html There is a map of Linux Audio Applications that looks to be useful documentation. Any comments on the rather critical note ?
