The kX Audio Driver is an independent WDM (Windows Driver Model)
driver for all EMU10K1 and EMU10K2-based soundcards manufactured
by Creative Technology Ltd. and/or E-mu Systems Inc., including
the SoundBlaster Live! series, the E-mu Audio Production Studio
(APS) card, and the Audigy / Audigy2 series of cards. (Full List).
The kX Audio Driver package includes driver system files and setup
files as well as a powerful audio mixer application (the kX Mixer),
which acts as a Graphical User Interface, providing access to many
of the driver's internal functions. The following features are either
fully supported or partially supported in the latest release of the
kX Audio Driver:

Unfortunately, linux/alsa port cannot be made at the moment mainly due
to lack of time. I cannot release the sources of the driver since some
of them are covered by several NDAs. In the future I hope the
situation can change, but I cannot provide you with any exact dates.

Here's what I have so far (in addition to a bunch of small patches that
have already been incorporated into the ALSA driver):
http://www.alsa-project.org/~rlrevell/emu10k1-multichannel-v007.patch
Other people are working on various other features (the DSP loader,
24/96 support). As for the NDAs Eugene mentioned, there's really
nothing the kX driver supports that we don't support already or could be
reverse engineered.

Great! However the kX driver, I presume, has these
features right now minus the "could be reverse
engineered" part.

No, but I can get one. I'll mail you off list.

No problem, and thanks!

The two main features missing from the ALSA driver are 24/96 support and
multichannel playback. Patches have already been developed to add both
of these. I think the 24/96 support was mostly reverse engineered,
while adding multichannel support did not require reverse engineering.
