All right,
then the question shouldn't be lined up on snd_emu10kx, I saw that this
type of soundcard utilize the CMedia CMI8738 chipset and there is
already a driver called snd_cmi.
The big, bad, ugly question is: will FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT support any of
the X-Fi soundcards from creative?
No. Creative doesn't provide docs for any product.
This is bad to hear, it reflects a bad attitude of some hardware
providing companies.
At the moment, I have onboard sound (which is boring) and Soundblaster
Audigy SE, which is NOT supported by FreeBSD 7 and OSS driver for amd64
crashes the box - so need alternatives.
There are some options:
- usb audio device (I have one from Creative)
- envy24 based one

- an used one
Thank you very much for the hint. M-Audio is now in my focus. Hope I
will have more luck with the 5.1 version.
Nearby, I tried to compile snd_envy24ht/snd_spicds into the kernel
(FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/AMD64, cvsupdated and makeworld yesterday), but the
sources for this driver fail to compile (made a PR, sorry ahving the PR
No. not handy). Compiling kernel without this driver and loading it as a
module works fine for me.

Oliver
