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.

There are no plans to create a native Linux Steam Client at this time.
Although the Steam Client is not available for Linux, there is a native Linux version of the Half-Life Dedicated Server available.
The best source of information on this product is the Steampowered.com Linux Server Forum:
Linux Dedicated Server

Originally posted by thebwt View PostIt'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.Michael Larabel

After installing L4D via Steam on my computer, I was not able to play L4D without Steam running. It is required that you log in to run L4D.
This is DRM. Do not pay for Steam games. You shouldn't have to ask for permission to play your own games.
No shocker to most of you, but just saying.
