I think the SoundBlaster Live! 24 still doesn't work. I'm a newbie so I could be
wrong. I'm running Breezy Badger and have followed all the instructions at
ALSA's site (as linked here), but still no joy. when i chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
/dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi, i get the error message that neither
/dev/sequencer nor /dev/midi directories exist.

installing alsa-utils, there are some errors at the end:

the CA0106 card is the only one detected when i go to systems/preferences/sound.
i've tried sudo lspci and the card is reported as Creative Labs SB Audigy LS,
which is the same driver according to ALSA. the card is onboard the motherboard
(msi k8n platinum in my case).
