Hmmm... interesting... still, who is this guy? I've been using Linux
audio since like 1997, yeah, I ran into a few issues back then (I had a
Turtle Beach San Tropez card), but have used several varieties of SB
through OSS and ALSA, and currently have one machine using SBLive! + ALSA
(my graphics workstation) and another machine using M-Audio 2496 + ALSA +
Jack + realtime patches (my DAW), and audio has always "just worked". I
build my own kernels and ALSA drivers, so maybe that's it? *shrug*
I've had audio issues on Windows plenty of times also, including one
machine that dual-booted Linux & Windows... Red Hat detected my video and
sound on first installation and everything "just worked" and on Windows
(same machine), I had to install some drivers manually because the
autodetection failed.
Oh well.
