Subject:   Creative "Sound Blaster Live" compatability?

Hi all.

I'm planning on getting a sound card for use with my FreeBSD box.

uname -a gives the following:

FreeBSD cscall.swan.ac.uk 2.2.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE #0: Mon
Nov 30 06:34:08 GMT 1998    
jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

I was thinking about using the Sound Blaster Live card.  Has anyone
tried this card with FreeBSD?  Is it compatible?

I'd like to be able to transfer audio data from my Sony MiniDisc
Recorder via the (optical) digital outputs direct to the computer.  I'd
need a Sound Card that had optical digital inputs *and* was compatible
with FreeBSD.  I'm not sure wether I can do this with the SB Live (must
do more research), but I figure there must be cards out there with this
capability.  Any recommendations?  

Please cc replies directly to my email, as I'm not subbed to the list.

Thanks in advance.

G.
