I think I was misunderstood... My card is perfectly supported by the current
driver, because it works with all other applications (including kmix). I don't
know why gmix has a problem with it (it worked with the OSS driver in mdk 7.0).
Besides that, the Creative OSS driver has many important Live!-features not
including in ALSA (like support for the Live! Drive front panel, independent
headphones/front/rear/digital outputs).
