    Audigy 2zs -> Revo 7.1 -> Speakers

    Thats exactly what I do in linux. I run the TB santaCruz into line in of revo 7.1, Then the revo outputs to my pimeta and onto my headphones. I only do this for quake3 based games since they do not support alsa drivers. Revo is unable to use oss compatability due to a mmap issue. I am hoping...
