[alsa-devel] are freebob firewire cards likely to be supported by alsa in the future?

Hello,

Just wondering if there are any plans to develop alsa support for 
firewire freebob cards like the M-Audio firewire solo (which I have). I 
have this working fine under jackd using the freebob driver, but as far 
as I know there isn't an alsa driver for it. I assume that since there 
is already open source code to drive the chip, it should be possible to 
write an alsa driver? This isn't an urgent thing for me - for the moment 
I'm quite happy to use my onboard card for playing music / movies etc, 
and keep the firewire card for recording music etc, but it might be 
useful sometimes to have an alsa driver for this card as well.
