I agree, but the fact is that the emu10k* devices own the Windows gamer market and like it or not these devices will sell millions of units, and they've worked perfectly in Linux for years. So these users have a reasonable expectation that Creative will provide them an upgrade path, just like they did for SBLive! -> Audigy1 and Audigy1 -> Audigy2. I'm not trying to pick a fight with Creative, but regardless of what I (or any Linux developer) does, there's going to be a fight if they try to lock out Linux users.
