Hi!
I have a Sound Blaster Live! PCI that works pretty fine for me.
I tried to run loki's Quake 3 Arena for Linux, and after several tries, I started to read the README file, and it said that Sound Blaster Live does not work as OSS. I found a reference to www.opensound.com, where they sell OSS drivers for Sound Blaster Live for $35.00 !! That's too much money for a sound driver! I've downloaded a trial, and it really worked to play Quake.
My question is: If the 2.4.9 kernel has support for Sound Blaster Live, why I have to pay for a damn non-GPL driver? Why it does not work to play games on linux?
