thanks, i'll try to find it and check, aren't they included yet?
i just don't know actually how to find some specific threads here actually

well the firmware is trying to load it endlessly and my cpu loads at 
100% but it loads only 1 core so that was not so much worse for me

- well this card i think that i got and it depends on loading the first 
part of E-MU as i think kinda a second part, so that's why i decided to 
load it a little later.
i can find you a picture of the card it is providing IN OUT analog

well i've changed emufx and other file because they were loading some 
libs and sliders that are not really needed by the emu_model

i think that the cardbus is related to that ecard and yes it looks like 
they are the same when i

lspci -s 07:05.0 -nn
07:05.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 
Value [1102:0008]
i don't know how to set the subsystem

i've attached diff -u of all changes that i've made and in second reply 
i've put the dar.bz2 file with all changed files (not sure if it is on 
the deck)
so i'll send it to you too.

i've tried to reply on my own thread today but i don't see the answer, 
so i ll dulicate a message for you
