[Voyage-linux] Success with Creative Sound Blaster Premium HD sound card

[James Boulton]

Hi,

I have had success using the current Voyage MPD with a Creative Sound
Blaster Premium HD USB2 sound card. See
(http://asia.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=875&product=19829&nav=1&listby=usage)

The card just works. 
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S24_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 96000 (96000/1)
period_size: 12000
buffer_size: 48000 

My setup is a old HP laptop (with broken screen) booting Voyage MPD from
a USB thumb drive. I replaced the switchmode power supply with a linear
supply to get rid of the switching noise. Set most of the peripherals to
off in the BIOS to get about 18 Watts power usage. I use FreeNAS to
store the music on and mount to Voyage MPD with cifs. I would like to
use NFS but am getting timeout errors.
