It's Official: Valve Releasing Steam, Source Engine For Linux!
I'll have a look at this. The problem is though not linux sound system. With the onboard Realtek chip this all works properly (5.1 I mean). It's the X-fi part which is the problem which is again not directly the fault of the ALSA devs but Creative thinking they are so fucking 1337 that they don't have to disclose specs to the linux devers.

Creative is sold out to M$, don't buy their products.

It's a pity though. Good old SB16 had great support under Linux as well as later products (emu10k I think is the name). I don't know why they had to go down that route.

True, and who knows for sure but I think it was both DRM and M$ that helped encourage it. Making Vista and Win7 drivers really took a lot of wind from their sails due to the difficulty I think.
To which they haven't so a call bullcrap on phoronix apparent "Confirmation" of Steam on Linux.
It's not black and white like that, Phoronix second-hand confirmed it via the telegraph, people have called/emailed and confirmed that the telegraph got their info from valve. So yes, no announcement... but a quasi confirmation.

No, my confirmation or sources are not The Telegraph. I simply linked to The Telegraph as another place that has also confirmed this information, albeit I have had my sources on the matter much longer than they have.
