The current package is turtlebeach-firmware-1.0.23-1-x86_64 and
contains the following:

/lib/firmware/turtlebeach/msndinit.bin
/lib/firmware/turtlebeach/msndperm.bin
/lib/firmware/turtlebeach/pndsperm.bin
/lib/firmware/turtlebeach/pndspini.bin

which are merely symlinks which point to firmware files of the same names
in /etc/sound/ but then there are no bin files in /etc/sound or its
subdirs.

I will try to find time later today to put the card in and see if it works
out of the box with Slackware64. It does not work with Mandriva until
after installing the firmware package.

These are for the Turtle Beach MultiSound Classic/Monterey/Tahiti.

These are for the Turtle Beach MultiSound Pinnacle/Fiji.

The MultiSound models are ISA cards with a different chipset.

I wonder why; the Santa Cruz should have worked without that.
