Hola:

I'm a new guy on this list, so I apologise if any of this has been
discussed already -- archives seem to say "no"...  I've been a
longtime audiophile and work professionally with linux/solaris
systems. While I appreciate the tremendous work done with the USB
audio support, I'm just not getting access to the featureset I want on
my extigy (external USB audigy card from cl). So, I figured that I'd
just get on this list and ask around about how fiesable it would be to
write one. 

I admit I do not have much experience writing device drivers. However,
I'd like to believe myself to be technically competant enough with the
linux kernel to begin doing so. What I'm looking for here are a few
pointers and tips for where to start, what code to stare at for a
while, etc. The ALSA documentation is pretty good as is, but I think
I'd need a little more than that as far as driver development goes.

Is it fiesable? Would a driver need to be written from scratch? Could
I just hook some extentions into the present usb-audio driver? Does
Creative Labs even release enough info/specs to write a decent driver?
Is there something comming down the pipe that would make any such
effort pointless in the near future?

Sorry about the newbie bit, thanks.
