X-Fi drivers in the repositories?

[Exospaciac]

I'm going to be purchasing an Xtrememusic sound card pretty soon and went looking for the recent X-Fi drivers in Entropy but could not find them.

Can I expect them to be added soon, is there a repository I have to add to get them, or are there no plans to add them to any repo (meaning I have to compile them from source)?

I know that I can get them by using portage, but I don't want to mess up entropy by doing that.

As i understoot X-fi can be supported pretty soon.

[Exospaciac]

So does that mean they'll be in the repos soon? And when?

[joost]

You might wanna ask that in IRC. As i dunno.
Lxnay told me it will be available soon, a couple of days ago.

No I was wrong, not a single line of code has been put on ALSA actually. So, avoid purchasing that paperweight.

As a matter of fact, you will find the drivers in entropy thru portato as media-sound/xfi-drivers, I installed them in my machine for a X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fata1ty and they work pretty good with the 2.26.28-sabayon kernel.
