Hi folks

(I'm not subscribed to -multimedia, I'd be grateful for a cc: of any 
 replies)

Is the SoundBlaster AWE 64 a good choice of soundcard for FreeBSD? 
I plan on using it for playing MP3s, as well as wiring my CD and BT848
output through it.

The "Jordan's Picks" section of the Handbook recommends the AWE 32, but
I've spent a large part of today trying to find somewhere that sells 
them, and they appear to be discontinued.

I've had a look through LINT, which does list an (undocumented) awe0
device, but I'm not sure if the AWE 64 and the AWE 32 are compatible.

Failing that, what's a recommended card?

Cheers,

N
