Creative Extension in Linux

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if the Creative Extension works with Linux? I'll only
have access to a computer with a Creative card sometime tomorrow so I
can test it then, but would like to know if someone else has tried
it...

Thanks,
GrahamG

Hi Graham,

Some articles on the web, not much.

Hi all,

the Creative extensions uses a Windows dll, so it won't run on Linux.

Hi Sven,

It looks like one or more of the guys in the links got Creative
Extensions or an equivalent working, though. Here is some discussion on
Linux and DLL.

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/coffee-lounge/37811-does-linux-use-dlls.html

It isn't like someone was trying to run M$ Word or Outlook on Linux.
That, or anything M$ didn't want done with *their* stuff, I would never
condone or participate in.

It appears, however, that the Creative Extensions is a work of Creative
Labs. I don't get the impression that Creative Labs *cares* if their
"Windows DLL" for Creative Extensions is used on Linux, they just won't
offer any support. It is likely that a Linux DLL could be written or
reverse engineered for Creative Extensions, and I think that is sort-of
what the guys have done, though they may not have called it that.

Hi Pete,

I thought you were talking about the "jOrgan Creative extension" since I
don't know the term "extension" from the Windows world.
It's just that Creative installs the SFMAN32.DLL. If someone offered a
Linux equivalent (*.so) we could utilize it for jOrgan.

Regards

Sven

Hi Sven,
I was talking about the jOrgan extension, and you did answer my question :-)

I have now had a little bit of time to discover 'Creative' things in
Linux and there is an ALSA utility (asfxload) that will load
soundfonts onto the card's hardware sysnth. I will be investigating
further and will let the group know when I have something that is
workable.
