[gentoo-user] Creative Sound Blaster Z 5.1 (CA0132)

hi,

The onboard sound chip of my new motherboard is ...<hrrrm>...

I am looking for a soundcard. I came accross the

Creative Sound Blaster Z 5.1

the problem with the soundcard is: I can find a CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0132
setting in the kernel configuration file (not set yet of course) and
on the other hand I can find a lot of people complaining about not
getting this beast to work under Linux. The CA0132 is the sound chip
of that card.
And I dont know how well the support is, if it will work at all.

If someone on this list ownes this card I would be very happy for
a short info about whether it works und Linux, whether there are
any restrictions and how well the support is.

Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful advice!
:)

Cheers!
Meino
