This is not good news - although the fact that someone seems to know what is
going on is sort of good news !!
Where would i look to try and keep up to date with progress on this one ?.
I'm not really using Linux much at the moment (i tend to go backwards and
forwards between Win98 and Mandrake), but i don't want to rule out going
back to it when my mood takes me just because of no support for my sound
card.

I certainly do. Until i sell on my PC and finish building my new one i have
an old Awe64 which was working happily for my purposes (and to be honest i
thought it sounded better in Linux than Win98 ?!?). Is there likely to be
any issues with having both running in the PC at the same time, or should i
just forget about sound for the moment - i only really use it to listen to
CD's under Linux. Win98's a different matter tho.
