Description: External USB soundcard - can work with plain usbaudio driver from ALSA, however Richard Cochran's OSS driver from http://www.cs.umass.edu/~cochran/ gives access to all of the soundcard's features apart from CMMS, including A52/AC3/Dolby Digital pass-through from Xine to make use of it's hardware decoder, and an LIRC plugin to use the remote control (allows you to control many LIRC-compatabile programs such as Xine, and to even use the remote control as a mouse with lircmd)
Keywords: Extigy USB Soundcard
Connection Type: USB

Now that OSS is obsolte, ALSA provides compiled-in support under kernel 2.6. I have gotten this working under RH9, FC1/2, and Gentoo. Sounds pretty good on a pIV, sounds pretty shitty under pII.

Unless you are dumb like me, get an Audigy.

this soundcard is great but on linux it's lost some feature such as "CMSS" and it is really hard (for me) to enable remote control (RM-1000).....
so if you dont want get headache dont use this..... :)
