If you find any lacking features, please let us know. With a necessary datasheet or sample driver codes, we can fix the existing driver. Also, if you have similar products (e.g. based on the same chipset), it would be easy to port it. The ice1712-based cards wouldn't be too hard to support, too. M-Audio and Terratec boards are supported as well. FireWire is becoming now a 'hot theme'. Currently, some people seem working on this but on different products. IIRC, Daniel Wagner and Thomas Charbonnel get involved. Please let us know if any other people are working, too. I'd like to keep the discussion over firewire support as open as possible. USB audio is already supported -- when the device follows *really* USB audio/midi spec, it should work as it is. If any vendor-specific workaround is needed, we need to add a quirk entry. If a firmware is needed, the problem will be much harder... Regarding the support from Egosys - how well is it supposed to be? Can we get the full datasheet, and/or Win/Mac driver codes? How about the test hardware? thanks, -- Takashi Iwai ALSA Developer - www.alsa-project.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
