ALSA is GPL. If you use any part of it (e.g. header files) then the driver must be GPL too. You can workaround this, but it's extra work to do. There are some closed-source drivers for Linux and for X. Reading the notes of their website, I suppose they provide the sources of generic code to drive the card. Perhaps if you only use the documentation and you rewrite the driver fron scratch, you can workaround (part of) the NDA. You should ask them directly, I'm just guessing.
