I understand - but the mentioned "VIA opening" is suggesting, that perhaps
completing the envy driver can be much easier, if VIA will release the docs;
Creative Labs, unfortunately, still doesn't seem to be willing to.

I'm not sure, nevertheless, if that envy24-related docs is enough; there are
some other chips on the envy-fitted cards, anyway.

I think, I'll have to make a comparison with Audigy soon... ;) as I can
see, there are even (semi?)professional cards built using Envy; like f.e.
