Re: alsa creative x-fi fatality

I'm pretty sure that most new Creative cards have no linux support due to the lack of manufacturer cooperation with driver developers. I could be wrong, but Creative has a reputation for being assholes when it comes to supporting anything other than Windows (and this doesn't always work anymore).

you should probably check out oss4 since it has x-fi support (beta)
