Is anyone using a Soundblaster Live card under Linux with PD? I just
installed Redhat 5.2 Linux and found out there isn't a driver for my Soundblaster Live card. Will any of the drivers for other Soundblaster cards work?
I've installed PD 0.24 but haven't been able to run it yet. Anything I
should watch out for, considering I don't have a sound card set up?

Unluckily the SoundBlaster Live isnŽt supported under Linux. There have been rumours that Creative is willing to support Linux, but they havenŽt given out the specifications for the card yet.
Despite that fact that you wonŽt have any sound, MIDI I/O pd should run without sound support, and display the message "dacs died ... switching to alternate timesource" at startup.
I currently use a SB/PCI128 as full duplex card, despite that fact that the SNR is rather bad. For high quality audio I would use a card from Turtle BeachŽs Multisound/Pinnacle series.
