Sound card advise

[João Del Valle]

Greg,

Sorry, my message is a bit off-topic, but this suject
breaks my heart everytime someone talks about it: if
anyone is considering buying a Creative X-Fi sound
card, think twice, because there is no linux support
yet.

Creative promised a proprietary driver more than one
year and nothing was released yet. The card seems to
have a completely different architecture, so the ALSA
project cannot do much either without strong support
from Creative.

João.
