Hey Jipi,
There has been some fuss in the past about linux drivers for some of the
Creamware products. It's been mentioned that drivers for linux are back
under development but creamware has swayed on this issue before. I
couldn't say exactly what is going on in this area, but I consider these
one of the nicer and affordable dsp options out there. unfortunately
mine has been collecting dust as i have given up on trying to write a
workable driver for it.
see the scope platform at creamware.com.
creamware forum w/ dated mentions of linux drivers:

if you find anything useful please let us know :). you just might be
better off trying to get some audio distributed on a cluster of x86
machines running l4linux or something as opposed to optimizing dsp
routines for a completely different arch. maybe someone is already
doing something like this?

Hi folks,
currently, all signal processing algos are being done in software for
Linux Audio.
are there any hardware accelerated support for audio hardware when doing
these sort of algos?
what I mean is, graphics card manufacturers have hardware acceleration
where the X servers can support those acceleration. do we have it in audio?
for now, RME cards do not have DSPs in them yet. (as far as i know)
they only have audio signal routings and high quality audio paths.
what if we want to experiment with h/w dsp? (e.g. the 1820m from
creative professional aka emu)
