The best starting point is gathering info. Without good info, developement isn't easy. But you seem to be lucky, because I found the following on the website of Marian (www.marian.de): "Developers of drivers can obtain all information on the hardware architecture of our cards, which is necessary for developing drivers for such operating systems that are not supplied." I'd say getting this info is the first step.
Next I'd recommend you to read the "Writing an alsa driver" document by Takashi Iwai. It can be found on the ASLA website. You could try and find an existing ALSA driver of a card that resembles your cards architecure. Might be usefull when reading the tutorial. After finishing the tutorial, you'll know what to do. btw: are you sure the card doesn't support DMA? The PLX 9052 supports DMA, and I can't imagine Marian not using it.
