Hello, No - this does not work, nor should we expect it to unless support for the X-Fi is added to the kernel. This is, as I understand it, more of a function of ALSA. Until ALSA is updated to work with this gen of hardware, every user of the X-Fi is basically out of luck.
I should note that following an obscure link, I did recompile my existing kernel from Hardy and used a tweaked Creative Linux driver to get the card working. It still worked quite poorly, with only stereo support (no 5.1) and it would stutter, especially when multitasking. I'm /really/ hoping this will get addressed by the ALSA team soon as many of us (myself included) have reverted to using motherboard onboard sound as a stopgap solution.
