AFAIK they didn't publish an API.

Sure, but that incorporates special hardware, because the normal OHCI 
cards cannot be put into a sniffing mode. You need either special 
hardware (expensive) or a PCILynx based card (not cheap either).

I don't understand what you mean.

I don't think they will put any effort in linux support, apart from 
maybe supplying us (FreeBoB) with the information needed so that we can 
implement support.

I think you can summarize M-Audio's stance towards Linux as 'not hostile 
but not prepared to invest time'.
