You read too many suse hardware databases :-) . Don't read the damn 
thing - I gave up reading it loooong ago because it is so way out of 
date that it isn't enough funny but rather sad.

You shouldn't given up on the Audigy because when I installed it Suse 
recognised it and all I had to do is to install the (mandatory) sound 
founts and test the volume settings. In fact, I look at the Sound 
details and Suse shows me "Audigy Player/Running". So, YES, Audigy is 
fully supported.

Ah, what I should mention here is that I am running Suse v9.0 (Pro). 
Which version are you running?
