Under Linux, you're probably better off with the AWE64
rather than the Aureal card, simply because of poor driver
support.  The SB Live! S/PDIF is well supported under Linux,

I guess not that it really matters but how would the Aureal card stand up to

General nanosystems, and also CompUSA have the aureal vortex
SuperQuad.. which has optical output.. I havn't tried mine in linux
yet.. but I'm going to be replacing win95 as soon as the Hollywood+ drive
improves to the point of usability

Thank You,
