Main sites to find documentation about your sound card

Linux driver support for your card:

• ALSA supported cards
  
• OSS supported cards

I suggest this site should be only about documentation related to available features, software and configuration for each sound card supported under Linux. Above all I think it should be used to write conclusions about the LAU discussions.

• Register at the LAU (Linux Audio Users) mailing list: http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/subscribelau.php
• Mail to the LAU (Linux Audio Users) mailing list

We can use it also, to discuss problems about specific soundcards in the available forums, linked in each soundcard page or available at:

• http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php?cat=23

• only audio professional recording
  
• only MIDI professional recording
