I know about the project in question, as I participate in the discussion 
about it.
an open design sound card would be even easier to design... an atmel 
microcontroller and a pair of ADC / DAC chips should be enough to desing 
something with a USB port.
now for the firewire thing, I guess a xilinx chip can do it, and those 
are not that expensive either...
