Hi all,

I'm about to embark on the process of upgrading to a new version of
linux (from 0.99.15 :-) and really don't want to endure the pain of the
diskette shuffle, so I'm going to install a CD player.  Since I need a
separate controller for the CD player, I thought I might as well go the
whole hog and buy a sound card as well, leading to my question ...

Genuine soundblaster cards are expensive (more than the cost of the CD
player), so I was wondering if anyone has had success with a clone card
under linux.  The brands I've encountered are KTX and ESS.  

Any success or horror stories you'd like to share?

Ciao,

AndyB   (Andrew Berry)
