It seems that is the unfortunate state of affairs with most of the
industry.  Has anybody managed to get any more information out of
Creative compared to Cirrus Logic?  If not, I would have to base my
decision on how well the stuff works in Windows.  As long as I can get
basic sound out of it in FreeBSD I'm happy, I don't mind if all of the
features don't work.
