So if Vibra16 is an OEM for Soundblaster and my board is a Dell OEM of
the Vibra, wouldn't that be an OEM off and OEM?  :)

Thanks.  Actually, I looked myself too but I though the free version was
a trial only and would expire after 7 days and have to be reinstalled? 
(I was hoping Linux wouldn't let programs do that.)  I don't know the
first thing about plug and play, except, of course, that it's catchy!  I
don't know anything about drivers either, but I'll give it a shot.  If
not, $20 isn't that much, but it had better come with some good
installation instructions.

I got x11amp, which seems to play mp3s at the right speed, but still
decodes everything to static.  The points again to the drivers I'm
afraid?
