Does the Asus Xonar DG sound card work well in F14?

[Patrick Lexa]

I currently have this card "installed" but not working- from what I have been told it should be working/supported in the .38 release of the kernal..

I'm having issues with my builtin audio. At first I thought it was the 
new speakers I bought. I know they're not quite as my Cambridge 
Soundworks but the external 5.1 decoder is having issues so I figured 
it was time. I hear a high tinny noise and assumed it was the cheap 
amplifier but after plugging in some old but nice SGI headphones I 
still heard it. 

To that end I'm in the market for an inexpensive sound card but don't 
want to go too cheap and get something equivalent to my onboard audio. 

I found the Asus Xonar DG[1] for a decent price but it uses the 
CMI8786 which is supported in alsa 1.0.24 (which I have) OR kernel 
2.6.38, which I don't. I'm really hoping the OR is right and it's not 
supposed to be an AND. 

Interestingly enough this chip doesn't appear to have internal volume 
controls so I'll have to rely on PulseAudio. 

Anyone have this card working (well)? Even though it's not a big 
investment I'd like to know someone has it working.
