Linux Aureal Drivers

Aureal makes these sound card chipsets called vortex. They released a mixed binary, source driver for linux. They had some problems, so some hackers worked on making them more stable and support the latest kernel. These were submitted back to aureal with the intent to make them back into the official drivers. Aureal went through some business problems, and has now gone bankrupt. Their assests were purchased by Creative Labs. Unfortunatly, Creative refuses to release the specs for these cards.

The soundforge drivers are good though. I've had a Vortex 2 on several linii dating back to RH5 and up to Mandrake 8.1.
