I only asked how well it was progressing with high fidelity sound support. Is everyone so paranoid about trolls that they jump at anything now? I want the SB Live! to work with FreeBSD as much as the original poster, especially the digital part. But just because I don't take daily counts of sound apps in ports (which have NOTHING to do with knowing whether or not digital support exists with the SB Live!) doesn't mean I assume everyone that uses FreeBSD other than as a server was misusing it.
