First, for all those who feel I am a moron, I HAVE used the link at the bottom of the screen - the unsubscribe link. I am not stupid. There is an error with the server and my address for some reason that will not take me off the damn list.
Second, yes, I am quite pissed. Yes, I am more than capable at RTFM, I have been a Linux system admin for 5 1/2 years now. I genrally use Slackware/and Solaris and therefore have no need for ALSA. But I have come to like SuSE lately (even though most my personal systems have now been replaced with G5's) regardless of the dissapointung fact that using OSS on SuSE is a challenge.
My point is: I would like one person to show me a link to some easily locatable documantation that will show me right now how to enable 5.1 audio on a SB Live 5.1 - rather than just get an annoying buzzing sound from the center. Can you even find one? My point exactly. The fact that the Linux community has decided to replace a perfectly good working sound system (that is desktop and n00bi freindly) for one that is sparsely documented and has many prevailing bugs at the moment is what I find to be a demonstration of "pure moron" - so take a look at the big picture before jumping on me.
For now, I am happy with just My G5 - Apple has a revolutionary concept - you control the surround sound settings with a bunch of simple and easy to use buttons and sliders, thats cutting edge stuff for some of the Linux hackers (as brilliant as they are) . Of coarse, most Linux hackers think it is evil to use GUI...... once again, were taking a step BACKWARDS here.
Sorry for the confuson, Dean
