2) I bought a SB Pro 24-bit live and they never wrote the full drivers because SB did not release the specs.
From reading the hardware matrix at www.alsa-project.org I get the impression that the 24bit is supported with the ca0106 driver module. Since I don't have this card I can't actually try it, but there don't seem to be any notes about difficulties in their list
3) Now I bought a card that based on the Suse hardware database that was rated as being FULLY supported and there are still problems.
Well, if RealPlayer screws up your mixer settings, that seems to be a bug in RealPlayer. I would suggest using another program for playing Real Media things until they get it solved. I think in kmix the button under the slide is the recording source. If you hover the mouse cursor over the light you should get a popup telling you what it is Could it be that you have a microphone connected to the system turned up really high? Because that could cause feedback and all sorts of audio problems. My cheap mic caused me no end of problems until I learned to mute it until I actually needed to record something.
