[LAD] Support for Steinberg UR22 (Yamaha USB chipset 0499:1509)?

Hi, there! I just got a Steinberg UR22 USB<->Audio / MIDI interface for my semi-prof. DJ work. I am working on Linux (only), but wanted to give this new product a chance. Well, it's basically a nice device but with an Yamaha chipset in it which seem unfortunately not supported from the latest (3.7.9) linux kernel(s). My questions are: - How likely is it to get this device fully supported on linux? - What needs to be done to get this device fully supported? I am an electrical engineer and did some linux device driver development in the past on some DMA stuff, but I am quite new to linux audio. But I am willing to help somewhere... I could try to reverse-engineer the USB stuff on Windows with the usbmon/usbsnoop/libusb things... But if it's too much work, to get it working, I could also just decide to send it back to Steinberg and thank them for not supporting Linux with their products. The USB information I could get is: $ aplay -l doesn't list that device $ lsusb ... Bus 002 Device 016: ID 0499:1509 Yamaha Corp. ... (See the more comprehensive $ lsusb -v below...)
