Glad to hear it!

I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be direct collaboration 
with M Audio on this particular bit of the software. There's an 
obvious commercial advantage for the company, given that the number 
of Linux desktops may have already passed the number of Macs in the 
world - if not, it's only a matter of time.  

I bought a Delta 1010 specifically to use with Linux because of the 
good ALSA support. It would be great to have full Linux/ALSA support 
across the whole M Audio/Midiman range.
