Hi!

I still have that Echo/Event Layla audio interface lying around. I 
don't have any use for it whatsoever as it is now, since I don't use 
Windoze at all any more (except occasionally, for some minor projects 
at work) and I can't use Layla with Linux.

So, I have to make a decision: Either I look at Echo's C++ source and 
hack an ALSA driver - or I get rid of my Layla, and get a Delta 1010 
or something. I'll look at their code and see how I feel about it... 

As you might have guessed, there is *one* thing against:

        Why did it take so damn long to releas that code!?

The fact that I still have a Layla card now is part coincidence, part 
me being too lazy to get rid of it... Now, I'm basically wondering if 
anyone still wants to hear about Echo. I must admit that I still have 
hard feelings personally - but that might also have to do with the 
major hardware and driver issues I had before I got the thing to work 
under Windoze.


Anyway, what I'm wondering is basically two things:

        * Is anyone else already working on a driver already?

        * Does anyone care? That is, does anyone else around
          here own - or have access to - one of these units?
          (Maybe I should ask in a somewhat more public place?)

        * I have some 18 years of programming experience
          (mostly to-the-metal stuff), some kernel hacking
          experience, but no ALSA coding experience. Any
          rough estimate how much time I'd need to add Echo
          support to ALSA?


Thanks,

*off to read that source*
