Sound Blaster X-Fi with Linux

Hey,
i have been on the "Fence" in switching from Win XP Pro to Linux for a long time, but i cant seem to give up the Micro'monopoly... just recently i downloaded one more Linux burned to yet another CD, Ubuntu 7.10, and i actually really like it. my only problem with it is that my X-Fi sound card does not work, but being that people are always making there own "drivers" and what not with Linux with-in the community, i was wondering if ANYONE out there can hook me up with a link or file to down load some Linux driver to make my Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme work on my Dell 400/9150 XPS linux machine... and my last question, if there is something out there to make my card work, short of buying a new cheap compatible one, what is the best most stable way to play World Of Warcraft on this system, because i hear WINE can be problematic... and i gotta have my War'Crack...








System now
Dell case and motherboard
ViiV Duo Core
2gig high performace Patriot ram
nV 7800 512Mb grafix
34.5gig WD HD 10000rpm (OS disk)
250gig WD HD 7200rpm (Storage)

 

The ALSA project is working on X Fi compatibility, but I don't think it's there yet. Crossover Office would probably be your best bet on running WoW on Linux.
