[AuckLUG] Creative Soundblaster

[Glen Ogilvie]

Hi Tim,

Last time I looked, the X-Fi Xtreme Audio card by creative was not yet 
supported.  Creative claim they will release some closed source, linux 
drivers Q3 of this year, or early 2008.

A solution until they do release drivers may be to purchase another cheap 
soundcard until the X-Fi is supported, or use a USB sound device.

Regards
Glen Ogilvie
