Trying to reverse engineer seems to become a life-task, it's perhaps really better to buy a second professional card that has Linux support. Maybe the M-Audio Delta 44.
But which card with additional dsp's for effect processing has Linux support? That's actually a very good point. If a card has some sort of unique features that you really need you're sort of stuck, but other than that getting a card with Linux support (or at least available api specs) and telling the vendor *why* is a good idea. Related, sort of: I've got a digital camera that uses a Smartmedia card. There's an adapter called a ``flashpath'' that lets you plug the Smartmedia card into a floppy drive, but it does take a special driver. The company which makes the flaspath released a GPLed Linux driver for it, which I got. Unfortunately, the block device interface changed between 2.2. and 2.4, and the company doesn't seem to have ever upgraded the driver. But... guess what I'm doing over the Thanksgiving break! -- Joseph J.
