Its clear you need to have access to the Hardware you are writing the driver for, so to that end, I decided to try to get you the Hardware and Funds required to make this happen; this is my plan so far:
I started a Forum here http://mylinuxmachine.com/forum/8 I had an idea to raise money for Hardware, as well as funds to support the Developers, I only have one Shopping Cart setup; so I put it here: http://lightwizzard.com/hardware.html http://lightwizzard.com/hardware/gr-55.html
I don't know if this will fly; but if it does, I'll get the hardware and have it shipped to someone that wants to work on this Driver, a long with any funds I collect; if this works good; I'll add more hardware pages as requested.
If this does work I'll add a shopping cart to MyLinuxMachine and move the project there, I don't have the funds to do it now, or I would have; a lot more thought needs to be put into this; but its a start. If you have any suggestions let me know.
The Donation page at ALSA http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/AlsaProject:Site_support is blank, so I had to find another way to raise money for you, and this is the only thing I could think of.
Without Hardware and Money; its not really possible to continue to write drivers for Hardware you do not have; I hope this is the beginning of something that works good for everyone. I don't see any other way of doing this at this point in time.

On the other hand, the quirk entries for GT-10 and JS-8 are very close to being identical. I wonder if the GR-55 needs some specific .data like the GT-10 does. It may be worth taking the GT-10 entry and changing it for the GR-55 vid/pid and trying it.
I took the JS-8 quirks as a starting point because the USB descriptor dumps looked identical to me. But I could have overlooked a detail, that's possible. So as you've worked with such devices before, if you could double-check and give some info, that would be a great help. Without access to such (even similar) hardware, it's hard to really help much.
