i was given a demo of a SoundBlaster card yesterday and before i shell for $200
id like to get a couple of questions answered.

1. how does the card interface to the system? 
   will making it work under unix involve writing a device driver? 
   what interrupts are available for use?

2. in general, are they worth the money. the game which prompted this all was 
   LINKS, a golf simulation.

thanks in advance, 

barry
