[alsa-devel] Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver

[Ted T. Logan]

Maybe you haven't been following the thread.  I've been trying to debug
the problem.  As I mentioned to Takashi, there's not a point where it
broke, it never worked with this driver.
There have always been clicks.


However, it does not have clicks with the following driver:
XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

Sending out condescending messages like this after I was responding to
the "testers wanted" mailer which said all cards should be supported now
is completely unproductive.
