I think they changed the filename to signify support for their other EMU
stuff. Their last set of drivers worked fine for me for cd audio, mp3s, and
q3test...aren't those the essentials? In any case, here's an exerpt from the
readme:
Card support
------------
- Creative Sound Blaster Live!
- E-mu APS
Kernel Versions
---------------
Modularized drivers are available for:
- Kernel 2.0.36-0.7 (Intel x86 non-SMP) (Redhat 5.2)
- Kernel 2.2.5-15 (Intel x86 non-SMP) (Redhat 6.0)
- Kernel 2.2.10 (Intel x86 non-SMP)
The drivers have been built for these versions of the Linux kernel and are
not meant to work with other kernel versions.
Forcing the driver to load with other kernel versions via "insmod -f" or
adding "options emu10k1 -f" to /etc/conf.modules is not recommended.
Do this strictly at your own risk.
If you are using a kernel compiled with version information, you will get
an "unresolved symbols" error message on startup after you install the
driver.
This is normal and the driver will still function normally.
Features
--------
- Open Sound System (OSS) compatible
- Full duplex wave playback/recording functionality (/dev/dsp)
- Simultaneous wave playback streams (/dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1)
- Analog mixer (AC97) support (/dev/mixer) (SBLive! only)
- Sound status reporting (/dev/sndstat)
- MIDI UART support (/dev/midi)
- Joystick interface support (>= 2.2.x kernels only)
- Supports multiple EMU10K1-based cards

Subject: Re: SBLive Drivers...
They're at http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/. From what I've
heard, the drivers are only supposed to make cd audio work. I don't
think any wav, midi or other features are supported (including quad
speakers). Anyone else on this list use the SBLive and find a good,
recent web page devoted to it?
