OK, here is the opinion of a newbie......I have a PNP sound card. I had
this before I had linux. Now, I run linux almost exlusively now, although I
still dual boot to Win95. Like I said I have a SB 16 PNP and I would like
to see support for it. Should I be "left out" because I am not a linux
origional?
