Hi
I'm new to this list, and new to Linux. I have worked with Unix
device drivers, but not Linux.
I have an emagic AMT 8 midi patch bay. (Similar to Unitor 8).
I've never gotten this to work in _indoze (can I speak that word on
this list?) despite much shenanigans, so I'm wondering
1) Is anyone working on a driver for this?
2) If not, is there a FAQ on how to approach a manufacturer for
documentation on their hardware for purposes of developing a
driver for them for free? (I should have to beg?)
3) This is a USB to MIDI device. Is there any support in ALSA for
USB, or do we roll our own support?
Please forgive the newbiew-type questions, I will go off and read
the doc if I decide to work on this driver, but I just would like a
little jump-start. If anyone is already working on this driver, I
would be happy to contribute to that effort. MY time is limited,
I'm a grad student, but I can contribute. If I do it on my own, I
expect it to be some time before I have even pre-alpha code.
Having a working Linux driver for this equipment would be the
incentive I need to switch to a full-time Linux desktop.
Thanks for listening
-karl
