I have a bone to pick with the M-Audio company.
They go as far as to put a penguin on the box claiming Linux support. But the linux support they claim to have amounts to two choices: an
ALSA driver that does not work, or the 4Front
OSS driver. The price for the 4Front driver
is quite shocking to me, on the order of $65.00.
Where are the OSS/Free drivers for Delta cards
(Audiophile 2496, etc.)? Had I known I'd have to
pay for a closed source driver, I would have kept
shopping for a pro sound card. If the 4Front
driver wasn't closed source, I'd pay their price.
Just can't win.

Included in the news clip it would be really useful if there was a link for newbies that explained how to compile. I'm not just talking about pointing to the how-to's, it needs to either be a direct link or a step by step guide.
If linux ever is to become main stream on the PC for average joe user, we really need to step up the help for newbies. Education is the solution to ignorance.
