This is basically what I'm working on now - improving the functionality
of the ALSA driver to match the kX driver.  If you want to pay someone
to work on this, you could pay me.

Here's what I have so far (in addition to a bunch of small patches that
have already been incorporated into the ALSA driver):

http://www.alsa-project.org/~rlrevell/emu10k1-multichannel-v007.patch

Other people are working on various other features (the DSP loader,
24/96 support).  As for the NDAs Eugene mentioned, there's really
nothing the kX driver supports that we don't support already or could be
reverse engineered.
