Alright, I've played a handful of mp3s, and a video of the Simpsons.  The
It mostly works :-)  I've experienced the same mediaserver crashing (which
I don't experience with the emu10k1 driver).  It doesn't appear that the
mediaserver can just be restarted in this situation, which means a reboot
is necessary.

But it's great to have sound coming from this card! :-)
