Referring to the lack of the official ALSA support of ESI MAYA44 PCI(in fact, the card does not work) I would like to ask I there are any plans to get this card working with ALSA? I would be thankful to be able to run my soundcard properly under Linux. There are also a lot of people that would appreciate your work and are waiting for maya44 pci drivers for linux: http://www.esiforum.com/show.asp?db=esi&t=esi1&mode=3&msg=793 I wrote a letter to the UK ESI SUPPORT asking if they were going to write drivers for their products for Linux systems as well. There is a reply:
" Dear Piotr
ESI do not provide and have no plans for Linux drivers for our products However ESI are happy to provide /share information to an Individual developer within the Linux community That is able and capable to develope drivers and wishes to develope drivers
Regards UK Support ESI Auditechnik "
It means that ESI will collaborate with developers who would like to write such driver and share the documentation.
Again the question: Are there any plans to make ESI MAYA44 PCI card working with ALSA?
AFAIK, no plan. We don't have this hardware for developing.
