The only difficult part is getting a mixer that controls all the features of the card (four channels, rear channel, EAX effect intenity, and so on..). I use aumix and have tested other called gamix. See under Application link in the ALSA page (www.alsa-project.org). BTW: it is even more hard to understand the logical structure of the mixer. For example, gamix (and a home-made text program to show all channels with alsa-lib), show that there are 4 main volume controls, grouped in 2 groups (till here, logic, L-R front and L-R back), but there is also a Main Mono Volume, one other pair of controls for something called 'Rear', and more things I don't see what are designed for. Is there any info around about the structure and travelling of the signals inside the SBLive! ? I have been digging inside the soundblaster web and found anything like that. TIA
