Dear ALSA developers,
Here is a message from ESS regarding getting some information for the
ESS1988/Allegro-1 series cards in order to get better support for them in
linux. I hope that some others will help me badger the ESS people in order to
(A) release info needed to make the Linux driver or (B) release the Windows
driver source so that it can be used for ideas for the Linux driver.
If you choose to reply to this, please CC me as I am not subscribed to this
list.
Thanks, Warren Turkal

SPECIFIC PROBLEM:
Simple dsp audio i/o is supported in your es1988 under Linux, but I would

I have a technical document describing the es1988 with its registers. Do
you have a document that has help for writing a driver for the es1988 in
it? Source code to your driver would probably also make this easier, even
if the driver is for a different OS.
Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions.
Thanks, Warren
