The PCI16 is a rebadged Ensonique (from what I saw when we were selling
them). To me it seems as though Creative bought Ensonique as they were
falling behind in the PCI sound card race, & needed to get one released.
I have the SB Live! (full, not value). The only small problem I have is
that the Creative modules only support 2.2.5 & 2.2.10 AFAIR. I have
checked the Linux-Mandrake site, but they do not have 2.2.10 listed as
an upgrade kernel version. I have copy of the full 2.2.10 kernel source
curtsey of PC Plus. Can I use this to upgrade/replace the version
supplied with Linux-Mandrake PowerPack? I used to run RH6 (for two
weeks) & had my SB Live! running under that, so I know it works. Any
guidance on upgrading to kernel version 2.2.10? I know that there is a
2.2.11 version now available, but I need 2.2.10
