I know the creative driver is in the kernel now for x-fi, but are there ever plans to at least have as much support for the SB0670 version of this product as the xfi drivers from creative?

So I am not limited by the 32 bit barrier.
So booting with "limited" memory size doesn't make sense, right?
Supposedly. Is it emu20k1 or emu20k2?
I checked it again: It is a 20k2 chip.
/var/log/boot.msg says: <7>ALSA /home/chris/Desktop/alsa-driver/pci/ctxfi/ctatc.c:1268: ctxfi: chip 20K2 model SB0880 (1102:0041) is found
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/mods/PC/1102/000b shows 1102:0041 as "X-Fi Titanium series [EMU20k2]".
I did now test it with a different 64 Bit Linux distribution, and it works correctly: Driver: alsa-driver-20090712.tar.bz2 Distribution: Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 Kernel: 2.6.30 (64 Bit)
All in all, I can produce a working environment with recent 32 and 64 bit kernels. This is good news. :-)
Below is the summary on the tested distributions.
Christian
So we got this: Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 32 Bit, 2.0.30 (works) Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 64 Bit, 2.0.30 (works) SuSE 11.1 64 Bit, 2.0.27 (does not work) SuSE 11.1 64 Bit, 2.0.27 XEN (does not work) SuSE 11.2 Milestone3 64Bit, 2.0.30 (test canceled, due to unrelated problems) => I'll see whether I can redo the SuSE11.2 tests, after doing a bugreport at openSuSE.
OK, that SuSE11.2 Milestone3 bug has been fixed, but Milestone4 has ALSA (at least soundcore) built in the Kernel - I think I'll just give up further testing until that gets "fixed".
FYI, in the latest SUSE kernel, both are fixed: ALSA core is module again and the latest X-Fi code is already merged there. So you don't have to use snapshot version at all for X-Fi.
