Preferred Sound Card

[Jim Wantz]

Hi Janina,
I am currently using an AWE-64 Gold with Linux and it works fine.
However, as far as I know the Alsa drivers don't support wavetable
synthesis, so in effect I have a SB-16.  You'd probably be happier with
something like a SB Live.  Its easier to set up a PCI sound card than one
running on ISA like my 64.
