When I added/updated a few things a while ago, I just did everything 
manually, working from example. Added various cards here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Terratec

and created a new vendor page for AdLib, which probably serves nicely as a 
minimal template:

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-AdLib

The information in the current matrix was transferred from an older non-wiki 
matrix but as far as I know, this simple manual editing is all there's to it 
now. I'll admit I lost my way in the TerraTec page a few times since it gets 
fairly clumsy, but well, just refresh and check a lot before you commit ;-)
