Thank you for answering for the answers to the question I posted long
ago. I had no chance to connect since Nov. 25, which was quite an
experience BTW.

Hi all,
I am considering to buy a soundcard for around 100$ and there
is an
offer for a SB Audigy.
Any recommendations?
I read that the driver on Sourceforge is still experimental.
Did anyone experience problems using that driver?
What should I know or consider?
Thanks a lot,

Creative Labs are slimy bastards:
1) They made the Live, claimed SPDIF digital I/O. Turns out the card
resamples everything to 48kHz/16-bit regardless of what you tell it to
do.
2) They make the Audigy, claimed digital I/O and 24/96 operation.
Oops,
turns out it works just like an SBLive...
You'd be much better off saving for a low-end ymf-based card.

Seconded, though I had to buy OSS drivers for it,
and the SP/DIF
input only worked after a long exchange with the developers
during which they sent me several updated versions till it
behaved. Even then I think it will only work at 44.1kHz but
that's all I needed.
It will surely work at 48000 (connected a DAT and no way of getting
44100), but according to his name should do also 24bit (not yet
tested)
Can anyone confirm (or otherwise) that the ALSA
drivers that come
with Debian 3.0 will support SP/DIF input on the DiO 2448?
Don't know about stock debian ALSA, but with SuSE ALSA no problem,
and I recently compiled ALSA 0.9.0rc5 on debian ppc very easily, so
I think that should be OK if you compile it from source.
The 2496 seems to be a better card generally -
despite the only
apparent difference of having a higher sampling rate, in fact it
has a completely different chip and better software support for
more platforms.
Yes but the price is higher...
bye
