EAX and Linux
In the old opensource page you wrote that there will be support for EAX in Linux. Is this plan still in work and will there be an OpenAL update for using OpenAL + EAX in Linux too?

I'm not sure if the beta Creative drivers offer EAX with OpenAL, but EFX (the OpenAL equivilant of EAX) is possible. If not from Creative's drivers, then at least from OpenAL Soft. There's currently a few known bugs with it, but hopefully a new release will come out soon with some fixes.

I was just wondering because I'm not sure if EFX is hardware accelerated. I will take a look at OpenAL soft thanks for the link.

It's accelerated if the driver/implementation and hardware can do it. OpenAL Soft, being a software-only implementation, won't accelerate it, although what it provides is still useable.

The beta drivers don't have an OpenAL implementation. It's just an ALSA driver

Wow, this forum is really terrible! Let's try that again...
The beta drivers don't have an OpenAL implementation, it's just a plain old ALSA driver. It works fine with OpenAL-Soft, though.

Yes, this is somewhat weird.
But still I haven't found out yet if there is an EFX implementation for linux yet and if so, are there some docs about it somewhere?
In current release I didn't find any EFX headers also, so I assume I have to use the original EFX from the sdk. Which means again its not usable that way in Linux then.
