snd_emu10kx from ports now does not support separate /dev/dsp devices
for rear/center/sub channels. It
plays the same sound on front and rear speakers.

The same driver in -HEAD does support "pseudo-multichannel" - you will
have to provide separate stereo 
streams for front/rear outputs and separate mono streams for center/sub.
You can't play single 5.1 stream
without demultiplexing it. Your system will see your card as two (4.0),
four (5.1) or five(7.1) separate pcm devices.

snd_emu10kx will not be MFC-ed into RELENG_6. I can update audio/emu10kx
port with "multichannel" driver, 
if you want to try it under 6.x.

Please also keep in mind that there are two different sound card
families both labeled 'SB Live':
- old one, with emu10k1 DSP, is supported by snd_emu10kx / snd_emu10k1
drivers, mostly 4.0 sound
- new one, without DSP, usually labeled 'Live 24' or similar. This cards
are not supported by snd_emu10kx or snd_emu10k1

Yuriy.

The SB Live! is extremely well supported, in fact, there are 3 drivers 
supporting it: snd_emu10k1(4), audio/emu10kx in ports and the 4front OSS 
(www.opensound.com) driver.

The emu10k1 driver doesn't have 5.1 support, but I believe the other two do.

I'm interested if the SB Creative Live is fully supported too?
Anyone that has this card and working surrond?
It's very good card but I've never had the time to test it with my fbsd.
I can use fbsd on this machine from a month or so and didn't have the time to 
test.
Any comments for SB Live will be a great thing.

thanks!
