Digidesign AM-III audio card driver etc...

[Stanko Juzbasic]

To whom it may concern...

Has anybody thought of writing a driver for a high-guality sound card
such as Digidesign AudioMedia III
PCI sound card. I hope somebody is aware of the valuable public domain
research software in the field of computer music that has been written
in the academic comunity during past 20 years.

I hope there will come a day that this software becomes portable also to
Linux_PPC, not only to high-end
commercial UNIX platforms, beyond financial reach of people who want to
learn something in thios highly
creative and exciting field.

By finally fixing the kernel /dev/dsp buffering problems and by writing
a driver for this widely available
higgh quality sound card the educational academic aims of Linux_PPC and
public domain research software could
be brought one important step forward.

I'm sure that if you donate a card to one of the sound developer guys and
it has non-proprietary documentation about the hardware available,
someone would be glad to code it. :)
