I have this one, too. Works great with our apple macintosh. > 1) Is anyone working on a driver for this? Don't know.

(I should have to beg?) Emagic HQ is about 20 kilometers away from our studio at Hamburg, Germany. Maybe i should visit them. > 3) This is a USB to MIDI device.

The alsa driver would be in fact a usb device driver, which gets loaded by the kernel when you plug in the amt8. As far as i know the AMT8/Unitor devices use hardware timestamping at the inputs and hardware queuing for the outputs. But usually this is alsa's job. So don't know if it's possible to use these hardware features together with alsa.
