SB64 works fine for me, I'm currently listening to 'RATM - No Shelter' and it
sounds great.
A beta SBLive driver is available right now, and new card drivers have been
coming in at a steady pace since Cameron took over. Extracting datasheets from
corporate whores is the largest roadblock at this point.
Naturally, your patches are just as welcome as anyone elses.
