List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi folks: A friend got a SB vibra128 which is apparently analogus to the ES1371. He currently has it running under OSS with kernel 2.4.something. I'm trying to remember the limitations of this card and drivers. I have a vague recollection about the need for -dneeded-linear with speak freely due to bad implementation of /dev/audio in the ossfree driver. Is this correct? and if I also remember correctly, alsa works just fine with this card. Is this also right? Anything else I should be aware of with this card? Geoff.
