Event Gina/Layla/Darla drivers

Event Gina/Layla/Darla drivers

[Pete Black]

Just wondering if anybody is currently working on supporting the Event 
Electronics Echo cards, since their core drivers have now been released 
as Open Source.

I am not much of a programmer, but I can provide documentation, a 
website and administration services for the project if anyone else is 
interested.

-Pete

I am the korg1212 driver author... I am interested to develop this driver, 
but  I don't have the hardware yet... (and no money to get one now :), but 
I am working on it)... If echo international distributor in Brazil could 
lend me one for some time I could start to write this code.

Haroldo,

I am going to set up a sourceforge project, and admin an email list and 
website for the development of this driver. As 'project admin', i will 
be happy to make contact with Echo corporation and request a hardware 
loan on behalf of the project. The only contact I have had with Echo 
before is a couple of emails requesting status of their open source 
driver plans, so I have no idea what their policy is in this regard.

I have also received email from Wayne Leeds, who says he is keen on 
contributing to the driver.

Wayne has several Layla20s, and I have a Gina20 which i will be using 
for testing. It would be great if Wayne could pick your brain as to how 
an ALSA driver is put together.

It would be easy for me to give you remote access to a machine with my 
Gina attached to it, but of course this is sub-optimal for hardware 
hacking due to the likelihood of crashing the system and the fact you 
won't be able to hear anything.

But, if you are interested in having a play, I will be more than happy 
to oblige.

Let me know what your favourite distro is, (I have Redhat 7.3, Mandrake 
8.2, Gentoo immediately to hand) and I will set you up a dedicated 
machine with the Gina in it and give you a root login on it.

Thanks for your interest and efforts on ALSA so far,

-Pete

i personally think doing this on sf.net is silly. alsa has its own
accessible CVS host, a website, bugtracking, email lists,
etc. etc. the driver is at most a few thousand lines of code, probably
all in one file. what's the point of a sf.net address for such a
thing?
