Re: [orca-list] The latest awailable Opensolaris CD is not supporting Sound Blaster live

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

First of all, Sound Blaster live can be used under OpenSolaris according 
to the device detection tool, its just not included as it is a third 
party driver. Yes I agree for OpenSolaris to be more accessible greater 
number of sound cards do need supporting.

I don't know which list would be best to make your request about sound 
card support. Is sound card support an accessibility issue (well it is 
for us), or is it a task for the indiana project (who is making the 
2008.11 release. Below I am listing some of the mailing lists.

If there are matters specifically for the device detection tool then 
report it to them.
