If you use the APS drivers you basically get the functionality of an
Emu APS card minus a couple of additional connections it sports.
AFAIK the APS card essentially IS a Live! with different convertors,
driven by different software package.

So you gain low latency ASIO drivers and MME drivers, and lose just
about all of the home entertainment crap.  You gain more routing
options and effects (which are programmed by EMU aka ENSONIQ rather
than CL.  Ever heard of the DP4?) and stability.  There are a couple
of minor issues with the mixer, but nothing to write home about.

So semi-professional cards don't have any output then?  ROTFLMAO!!
