This patch series adds support for the Sound BlasterX AE-5. I have personally tested it, and had others test it as well. All outputs work, front headphone, rear headphone, rear line-out, surround, digital. The only issue currently is that the microphone suffers from inconsistency like the Sound Blaster Z does, and Creative may be willing to help fix that, but if they're not, I have a few ideas.
I also have the ZxR working currently. That will require some more complicated changes of the driver, so I have left it out and just focused on the AE-5.
