No, just that it's not possible for users to edit the main matrix with
the most important information - ie, does the card work or not?
It might also be useful to have a sort of 'gold star' so that people
who are looking to buy a soundcard to use with Linux have an idea
which are the best supported, according to existing users. You could
break this down by category in order to answer questions such as
'what are the best USB audio devices?' or 'what is the best ADAT
interface?'. This could be linked through to third-party sales
websites, which could generate some revenue to pay someone to
maintain the document.
I like how you are thinking.
I have plans to do this but it requires access to the mysql database. If
you can wait for a couple of months more I should have something working.
As for the matrix itself, I wonder how long it
will be before
alsa-project notices that Midiman changed their name to M-Audio
years ago
I think for a while they still used the Midiman name specifically for
MIDI products - maybe they stil do. But people will be looking for
M-Audio in the matrix, it's true.
Will change it ASAP.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
