That part of the documentation is inaccurate, and has been for quite some time. There are SB16 clones, based on the ALS007 and ALS100 chips by Avance Logic. The proof is in drivers/sound/sb_common.c and Documentation/sound/ALS007. The ALS007 is apparently a SB16-alike except for the mixer, and the ALS100 is even closer (it uses the SB16 code unchanged). My /proc/sound reads, in part: Audio Devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 (ALS-100) (4.2) (DUPLEX) and I get 16-bit input and output without difficulty. I've been successfully using this card with Linux since the summer of 1997; the card itself was purchased in November 1996. Admittedly, these cards are probably nowhere near as common as the average cheap WSS card, and it's likely that the previous poster doesn't have one, but they DO exist... --Rob -- Rob Tillotson N9MTB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
