Creative Labs acquired Essoniq(SP) in order to gain this technology.
The very first shipping PCI128's were in fact repackaged Audio PCI's. Even
today upon installing 4 of these "SoundBlasters" when you first run the mixer
application (which is quite plain, in contrast to typical Creative Software),
the Taskbar actually says Essoniq Audio PCI for a short period of time before
being overwritten with Sound Blaster....
As such I'd have to say until there is support for the Essoniq card, there
will be no such support for the "creative" version. CL's might have also
replaced some generic clone chips with their own, but this wouldn't/shouldn't
impact drivers.
