[alsa-devel] Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver
Is this driver the same source that creative released a few months back or has it been updated to support more features? Just Curious.

It has a few fixes / improvements since then, but no big functionality changes.

The only big change is 7.1 support.
One more question, any chance of the driver in the future supporting soundfonts since the X-fi has a built in midi synthesizer?

Theoretically possible, but it's not implemented yet. The technical information how to handle the effect parameters is missing.

The ctxfi code supports all of the hardware PCM features, as far as I know anyway. "Features" like the Crystalizer are done in the windows driver code itself, possibly uploading code to the DSP, but more likely done in software.
I do not know if MIDI is implemented yet. Maybe a project for the summer if not. MIDI should be similar to emu10k1.
