im going to buy the "Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS" (the one with
the firewire port) and im wondering how well this works under gentoo?

ALSA's website talks about the 'Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy'. I would
prefer not to go near OSS, but if neccessary, i will.

If anyone has any tips, tricks, or useful info, please respond :-)
