Jacob Crawley contacted me directly and we are looking for way howto
:support ALSA driver development for SB Live which should be acceptable
:by both sides. Looks that Creative can release some code under free
:license (it willn't be probably GNU GPL, but something like Netscape
:agreement for Mozilla). Main problem should be that Creative is thinking
:about release only some library for SB Live - this should cause unwanted
:trouble with different kernel versions :-((


I'm new to linux and very (badly) impressed by the fact that kernel version
has a severe
impact on the drivers...

However, it is probably normal, but could you explain me why the interface,
from a 'black box' approach (as seen by the driver programmer) does chage
from kernel version to another...

Thanks.
