[alsa-devel] Creative Soundblaster X-Fi
Has anyone worked on developing an open source driver for the sound blaster x-fi cards? I've been sitting on one for about a year (mental note check support *before* buying..) and would love to use it already... Creative has promised drivers but they seem to be in no rush to support Linux. I'd like to try my hand at working on a driver for this, but without any technical specs from creative I wouldn't really know where to begin. Anyone have any suggestions on how to start? Anyone worked on this yet? Am I nuts for even considering this??

heh heh.. I bought SB0790(X-Fi XtremeAudio PCI) last month. snd_ca0106 driver attached to this card with alsa-driver-1.0.14, but I have no sound yet.

I dumped some information with lspci, hwinfo etc.. at http://www.stained-g.net/wiki/shinichiro/index.php?Creative.X-Fi.XtremeAudio

You made a much better choice then me... Your card should already be supported. The X-Fi Extreme Audio uses a known chipset.. sadly I picked up the X-Fi XtremeMusic which does not. You should be able to get your card working. Maybe you need an .asoundrc file? Could your apps be playing to the wrong card?
