[linux-audio-user] SoundBlaster Live

[Angela Day]

Lee,

Thanks, I agree completely.  People complain about microsoft, but,
please...  No casual user should be expected to traverse this mess just
to install a SB card in Linux.  I am not a hardware person or a linux
administrator, as you can tell :) 
I will look into the rawhide and ca0106.  Wish me lots of luck.
