Why not just use the Linux driver?? It's in the standard 2.4 kernel (and is
available for 2.2). 2.4.13 is probably the best choice at the moment. It
works great for me. If you're more adventurous download the utils from
http://opensource.creative.com and play with some of the more interesting
features of the card (such as writing your own DSP code to download onto the
EMU10K1 processor :)
