I can only find info on how to use Soundblaster Audigy cards with ALSA 
(same driver as for SBLive).

In theory there is an OSS driver at sourceforge but a search there only 
turns up ALSA.

The Creative site only mentions ALSA for all its sound cards.

I found two HOWTOs but cannot follow all the details.

ALSA support exists for kernels 2.0 and later but for 2.2 there was no 
mention of sblive or audigy.

I would need to compile drivers, library, and utilities such as amixer 
and make some extra devices.

ALSA modules have format snd-card-sb16.o.  There seem to be more modules 
required than for OSS.

For the moment I have simply replaced this card with an older one, but it 
is supposed to be Creative's best quality card.

Maybe someone already familiar with ALSA could get this working for BL?
