glad they came to their senses. the existence of the RME Hammerfall DSP driver for linux had nothing to do with it, i'm sure :) >A driver for the VXpocket should interface with the PCMCIA module and actuall, no. see below. >(most likely) the ALSA package.

So is there more than "use the source"? :-) the linux kernel makes pcmcia devices appear to be regular pci devices. there is no difference between writing a driver for a pcmcia device or a regular pci one. there are pcmcia utilities, its true, but the driver doesn't need to know about them. they can be used, for example, to autoload the driver when the device is inserted, etc. because of this, "use the source for a similar-featured audio interface" is the best advice. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
