Hi and thanks for this driver. It works great and even 6- and 8-Channel-Output is supported now.

The only two little things I noticed are:

1. Most programs are looking for "surround51" to use for multichannel

sound. But this driver only provides the "default"-Device (in it's description it says:

aplay -L default:CARD=XFi Creative X-Fi, Front/WaveIn Default Audio Device

)

Use the latest alsa-lib snapshot. The config file for X-Fi is already there.

2. I can hear a gentle grumbling out of my speakers. But nothing serious.

Do you hear it even with the volume under 60%? The volume scale seems messy right now. Don't set it too high.

thanks,

Takashi
