I am running Fedora 12 and am up to date on the updates.  I have a Sound 
Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card and can not seem to get it to work 
and from reading the mailing lists I could find the 6.31 kernel should 
have support for this card built in.

uname information
2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 21 05:33:33 UTC 2009 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci pertinent infomation
04:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG

The mixer GUI shows HD-Audio Generic.

rpm -qa shows a wide range of alsa version and I was wondering if this 
could be part of the issue.
# rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.22-1.fc12.x86_64
alsa-oss-1.0.17-4.fc12.x86_64
alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc12.x86_64
alsa-tools-1.0.20-4.fc12.x86_64
alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.9.rc2.fc12.x86_64
alsa-lib-1.0.22-1.fc12.i686
alsa-oss-libs-1.0.17-4.fc12.x86_64
alsa-lib-1.0.22-1.fc12.x86_64
alsa-oss-devel-1.0.17-4.fc12.x86_64

Any help would be appreciated.
