and which are those? I know of no way to get information about how good/complete the alsa driver is. I have read number of thread on various mailing lists/forums etc. about which cards to use (for different purposes) and I didn't find any useful information... The docs at alsa site are pretty much useless for this purpose (as far as I can tell). BTW creative provides some linux support. Plus the sound matrix at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ doesn't say there are problems getting docs from manufacturer. > You seem to be forgetting that most of the drivers are written by > volunteers working without documentation. no I don't. I am not saying somebody should go and fix my problems. I was just ranting because I am frustrated and I hope it will provide semi-useful feedback to somebody... (and somebody will go and fix my problems:-) possibly... and we were talking about acceptance of linux audio. erik
