I'm forwarding this on from the linux-audio-user list, my first attempt
failed as my SMTP host was blacklisted.

Will someone in ALSA developement please verify and check
this problem??? I remember discussing this issue before I
went to the LinuxTag a few months back, and it plauged us
the whole time we were demonstrating our applications. I
would love to see flawless SB Live! full duplex audio, I
want one of these cards myself (for wavetable synthesis as
well as multi PCM and probably better sig to noise ratio
than my ISA AWE 32 [:)] Can we contact Creative Labs?? Will
they help us with something like this. It is certainly
keeping me from buying one of these cards (despite how cheap
they are, I don't want to end up with a piece of crap).
