This might be new to you, but PC users that run linux have been dealing with this reality since 1996.<p>my first PC had a winmodem and an OPTi OPL-3SA sound card. traded the winmodem for a rockwell 33.6Kbps, and opted for a Yamaha sound card (because paying for OpenSound drivers was stupid, and the free trial gave you <i>30 minutes</i> of working sound drivers).
