IIRC the oss_sbxfi driver does not support 5.1...

IIRC the oss_sbxfi driver does not support 5.1...

well that sucks
what about 4.0 or 5.0?

will it ever be sported any time soon?

Your best bet is to go with Creative's ALSA driver. This card is far too complicated and since a driver for Linux exists there's really no point in doing another driver.
