Google for "Writing an ALSA driver".  This excellent document by Takashi
Iwai gives step by step instructions with many examples from the real
code.  This should give you a pretty good idea of how long writing a
driver takes, given the specs.

I would imagine source code for an OSS driver would be even better than
having the docs, as long as the code is not obfuscated.
