Creative Labs USB SoundBlaster Live! 24-Bit External Sound Card

Works very well for AC3 and DTS, both of which I use (I added DTS
support to myth). No special magic required. Pretty good sound quality
out the analogue too.

I've used it with Fedora 2 through to 6 so far.

Comes with a nice little remote too, which you can use with a regular
IR-receiver as a pocket sized myth remote.

Cheers,

Martin.
