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:
- 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.
Hmm... I see a definition for iec958 in SB-XFI.conf, but aplay -L doesn't list it for my card.
