Hi, I am not a developer and probably shouldn't even be here, but I do have a question that is probably best answered from this forum. I've been looking at the ESI website and I notice that there is some ALSA support for a few of their cards...

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-ESI

The interface I'm most interested in isn't on this list (MaXiO 032e)

I decided to call the technical support number in the UK and ask them what their position is regarding Linux. The guy I spoke to said that ESI are not going to provide an ALSA driver for these devices but they would be more than happy if someone from the ALSA community were to approach them. They would then assist in providing the necessary information.

So, just wondering if anyone has already started on this or if there might be some interest in doing so? I was attracted to ESI by the fact that they have a number of PCIe interfaces which are still quite something of a rarity.

Regards

Neil
