Never heard such a thing existed and I don't believe it does.
(If you mean WORM = write once, read multiple times and MO =
magneto-optical)

I wonder if anyone has succeeded to get this ALS100 based sound card to
work
full duplex.
I tried with oss-lite and oss (demo).
With osse-demo, it was officialy full-duplex, the device ans its shadow
were visible
in /dev/sndstat.
But it didn't work.
So I would be glad if anyone would show me the trick !!!!!
