Actually, I think it means those particular cards are discontinued.

Last I heard echo doesn't provide info to the device driver authors.
Check
alsa-sound.org for the driver support info
http://www.echoaudio.com/Downloads/Developer.php
?
Sure took 'em long enough.
I managed it to hear sound with the darla20, after following the
instructions at
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/g_pochini/ea.html although i
needed a 2.4.22 multimedia kernel (i found this in the mandrake contrib
repository) before it would work. with a 2.6 kernel i had many
unresolved symbol errors when modprobing the module. need to check more
on the soundcard, but i guess i need some sleep now.

I'm clueless WRT how mandrake patches their kernels, but a vanilla kernel with
preempt & latency patches plus recent ALSA would be my strategy. YMMV.
Patched 2.4 performs better for low latency, so messing with 2.6 is not really
the way to go, at least for now
