interesting idea, however, I really am not looking to buy a driver for 
something that the vendor should supply (IMHO).  NVidia has done a nice 
job with their video support for linux.  Sounds like they need to do the 
same for their audio.  Also, another quirk, if I exit XWindows and go 
back to shell, it doesn't revert back to the right screen.  Basically 
the screen is black.  If I run startx again, then the screen returns for 
X.  Really odd.
