It will act like a SB16 yes, but this is nothing wonderful, as the SB16 is quite pathetic. xmix is the only program I've run into with a line select (which you need since the SB 16 has no input mixer). What you want is awedrv, which is available as a debian source package. Trouble is, it won't compile as a module, which I think means you have to use initrd to run isapnp before it will work. I've read the initrd stuff, but havn't gotten around to trying it yet. Am I right in my understanding that you just need to copy over a rescue disk, isapnp, and possible bash (to write initrc with) into the initrd environment? Anyone done this? The awedrv does not support all the SB 64 capabilities, but from what I understand the extra channels are provided by software anyway. > > -Paul > > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
