[alsa-devel] Support for SAM9407?

I have absolutely zero experience in firewire audio and firewire in
general to be honest, but the project does sound interesting.

Be as Frank as you want, I totally agree with you :) The thing is, I have
limited time and experience (I have written one ALSA driver). Although
supporting older hardware doesn't bring a whole lot to the project, it
does provide me with a training ground so I can be of greater use in the
future. I can work at my own pace on an area that nobody else will be
working on. I can improve my skills without stepping on other people's
toes.

Your project sounds interesting but I don't feel I have the knowledge to
keep up on a project like this. This is why I'm messing around with this
stuff, so that I can do some 'real work' some day soon ;)

regards,
Ash
