(Time passes...)

Hmm, I know I heard that Creative Labs had decided to assign someone
to create Linux drivers for this card, but now I can't figure out
where I saw that announcement.  Does anyone else here know?  What I
really want is an email address to send my comments to that might do
some good.

I want to tell them that I won't be buying one of their cards unless
they provide open source drivers (so that ALSA drivers can also be
created).  Now just me alone, might not do any good, but once I get
the email address, I want to see if I can get slashdot interested :>
That seems to get fairly impressive results these days.

Mainly what I *really* want is an moderately priced board with digital
I/O and open source drivers.  It seems like the SBLive would be
perfect if they'd open up a little...

Thanks.
