    I wonder why I can't see Creative SB Audigy LS mentioned among the
    supported cards at the opensound.com list? And is there available
    complete procedures to do this for Suse 9.1?

    According to the Suse hardware database, Audigy LS is not supported in
    Suse 9.1 which included Alsa 1.0.3. It was also mentioned that it was
    possible this sound card would become supported in Alsa 1.0.6 (Suse 9.2?)
