It looks like E-mu/Creative Labs doesn't have any freely available programming information for the E-mu 10K1 PCI audio processor. This is the heart of the Creative Soundblaster Live! product. I sent some email to the guy that did a presentation at Hot Chips '98 earlier this year asking about it, and: > I apologize for the long delay in responding to you.

This is really too bad, 'cause the thing sounds pretty nifty in Windows98. I guess this thing is out of the running as a FreeBSD PCI-based sound card. If anything changes, I'll pass it along. I replied and indicated that an NDA is somewhat incompatable with doing an open-source device driver for FreeBSD. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
