An EMU rep has informed me that they have agreed to provide the ALSA
project (specifically James) with a hardware sample.  They don't seem to
think we'll have much luck reverse engineering a driver.  We'll just see
about that.

They mention that they won't be able to dedicate any development
resources to it anytime soon, which makes sense given the widely
reported issues with the Windows driver.  The message implied that they
might consider releasing some docs or (IMHO more likely) register info,
but we'd have to make a convincing argument.

Has anyone ever tried to figure out how many Linux audio users there
are?
