 That was all there was to it for me.
 
 You can also configure it through Lothar if you prefer.

You shouldn't have to touch anything, do a fresh install
on the first bootup kudzu will add the sound alias to conf.modules
theres nothing to configure it's either there or it isn't. If on the off
chance you don't see the "alias sound emu10k1" in your conf.modules on
the first boot contact me so i can find out what went wrong please.

But does it install and work in an SMP system? The reason I ask this is that
last time I was on Creative Web they indicated their drivers did not support
SMP.

I haven't locked mine up yet, and there seem tobe spinlocks in all the
critical places. I don't think real smp support is going to help the
performance to much, but i'm sure they'll try it sooner or later.

Please correct me if I am wrong,

But don't all distributions use their own kernel, so basically under
Linux and Co. incorporate the creative Live! drivers into the kernel, no
distro will support them unless via some external utility that they create,
but not from a kernel perspective?
