Then compile it yourself =)

Yep.

So grab the source from www.opensource.creative.com and compile it
yourself. Works fine for me =)
You'll need the kernel-headers rpm installed, as well as all the usual
compilation ones, such as libc, make, gcc etc.
All I had to do was unzip the source tarball, type
$ make
and copy the newly created emu10k1.o to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
Then I added this line to /etc/conf.modules
alias sound emu10k1
And that was that. The driver is lovely, and sounds just great.
Tom.
