I am very biased in this (I sell hollywood decoders on the side), but
wouldn't it be better to write drivers for decoders that are less buggy
than the creative labs ones? I hear really horrible things about the
Creative Labs ones. I believe any of our other competitors are more
reliable than Creative Labs. Please correct me if I am unfairly
slamming Creative Labs.
