They also support full duplex, allowing the card to be opened for input and output at the same time. They're more stable on this system than the kernel drivers. If you need better sound support than the kernel, get these drivers. They also have native plug&play support, so no more screwing around with ISAPNPTools. In case you do not know ISAPNPTools are tools to configure plug&play devices under linux, but it's a real pain to work with.
