I think it is created in the directory you are in when you untar the
source.

Look very carefully at the exact hardware you buy. Audigy is a success
_as a name_ so many of their cards will have 'audigy' in their name.
Hardware differences can be subtle or irrelevant between differently
named cards and _one_ character in the name can mean a completely
different chipset. That's not limited to Creative AFAIK...
Have fun!
