well, it's not correct that they did NOT provide any info.
indeed, they did *minimally*.

for example, for maestro2, they gave an example (even buggy) DOS
example programs for the simple playback.
for maestro3, one of the ESS guys gave Zach Brown some information -
the mini SRC DSP code and how to access via their ASSP engine -
although the DSP engine has much much more capabilities.

it's a pity, if the ESS people think that they already did enough for
linux.  yes, it's far better than nothing, but...
