[Alsa-user] Sound Blaster Live USB External - Some questions ...

[david <slu...@fr...>]

Hello
I will try to use IR remote control provided by the Sound Blaster Live
24 bits USB External. I have some questions (I'm a beginner) :
- Does it works? (Do you have some links to help me?)
- Which alsa module is used for this sound card? (snd_emu10k1 or
snd_usb_audio ?)
- Does this module supports the IR remote control ?
- In the mailing list archive, I've found a patch to enable the IR. Is
this patch included in the actual release of alsa ?
- alsamixer don't see all outputs of the sound card. Only fronts
speakers work. How to enable the rear speakers ?
- If i have to compile and install alsa from source. Do I have to
recompile my linux kernel without sound/alsa modules support ?
(conflicts?). I work with Debian Etch.
- Why alsaconf does not detect this sound card ?

I will be happy if you give me some tips.

Thanks.

David.
