Thank you Scott :)

IMO this is important, Envy24 cards still seems to be the most wide
spread group of full duplex capable, low latency, cheap sound cards.
I did compile Mudita myself and hopefully I get rid of my Envy24 cards
for audio soon, 'cause OTOH (all) Envy24 sound cards seem to use less
good analog IOs. Anyway, as long as there are Envy24 cards for less than
30,- EUR at Ebay those cards are very important, to replace all those
onboard high definition surround 3.5mm jack specimens.

Yes, it should be included to a package.
