Audigy 2, Inspire and FreeBSD

[Nicholas Wieland]

Hi all.
  I'm a FreeBSD user from abuot two years now, and I love it.
  I have a machine in my home network that I use as a "multimedia
  station" - i.e. something that my family can use to listen to music or
  watch a DVD without specific knowledge.
  I'm very happy with it, and my family too, so thanks to the FreeBSD
  hackers for such a piece of software !
  Now, I'd really like to try the official emu10k1 driver for my Audigy
  2 (now I'm using http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/), but firstly
  I'd like to ask if there's something like the emuctrl tool that ships
  with the unofficial driver.
  The "problem" is that I have an Inspire system - 6 speakers + 1
  subwoofer - and I don't know how to control the volume of every single
  speaker.

  Does FreeBSD support a beast like mine ?
