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?
