It is good news that you managed to have productive communications
with Creative.
I did have a very good relationship with Creative and EMU until all my
contacts left the company.
It took me years to build up the relationship, but I did not have the
time to start again from scratch.
If you manage to get the open source NDA signed with them, ask them to
contact me, informing me of such, and I can then pass all the
datasheets I have on to you. I do need direct contact from them before
I can do this though.
The datasheets cover almost all Creative and EMU sound cards.

Kind Regards

James
