From what I recall James talking about it, you should go to Windows and switch the mode in Windows driver, and reboot. But I might be saying totally wrong, since I'm talking from what I remember. It was somewhere in the mailing list, I can't find it right now.
Driver for HDA Intel mode of Creative cards is in Takashi's sound-unstable-2.6 tree, it's called patch_ca0110.c - see here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git;a=blo...

Supposedly this compatability mode exists, but how do you turn it on? Do you then just start using hda-intel afterward?
I also understand it's severely limited.

To say that this driver is partially working is an overstatement. It is partially working on very few supported cards, and some of them are supported by ALSA as well, if not better (Xtreme Audio PCI and Xtreme Audio PCI-E).
By the way, don't all X-Fi cards have some kind of HDA-compatible mode? If yes, why don't people just use that until Creative writes a driver and stop complaining?

Nobody with know-how has bothered to port the partially working oss4 driver to ALSA, so interest is quite low.
