I've been running the January 23 snapshot of the drivers for some time without
a single issue. You'll want to get the drivers from:
http://opensource.creative.com/
You want the emu10k1 stuff. The only problem I ran into was in compiling.
The Makefile has some sort of auto detection for a kernel version but it wasn't
working. I had to manually enter my kernel version at the top of the Makefile,
it only wants the major numbers (ie 2.2 or 2.3) not the minor numbers (ie 2.2.12)
(and naturally this wasn't documented, not even a comment!). Of course back then,
the auto detection was quite new, and I suspect they've fixed it by now, so you
probably won't have to worry about it.
Also you may want to turn DEBUG off at the top of the Makefile, with debug on
it tends write *lots* of stuff to the system log.
