My complete guess is that standard Ubuntu has the kernel driver built
into the kernel and Ubuntu Studio might not and if not could be
dynamically loaded, which might conflict? (Cannot see why not).  This
answer is based on nothing but assumption because this is all I have :)

I would like an answer as well, because I will ditch my Ubuntu 8.04 and
move to 8.10 when the multi-core and network problems have been solved.
