Hello, I'm glad to announce the new release of Gallant's (e.g. Audio Excel DSP 16) audio cards driver for linux. This patch (the version 0.12 of the driver), is a BETA release, and it need to be tested. If you use this patch, please report it to me and tell me any problem you have encountered using it (bugs, config probs, etc.). This is VERY IMPORTANT: I need testers for the new SC-6600 code. The SC-6000 code is now stable. The driver will hopefully be integrated into the kernel source tree in one of the 2.1.xx future releases. Enjoy. Ciao, Riccardo.
