for those who want to test the alphacode:

$ hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/em28xx-new
$ cd em28xx-new
$ ./build.sh build
$ ./build.sh install

now the custom part:
$ find /lib/modules | grep em28xx-audio | xargs rm
// take care that the em28xx-audio module is not loadable from somewhere.
$ modprobe em28xx.ko
$ insmod em28xx-aad.ko

this module creates an audio node called /dev/aad0 it's a very
simplistic interface I'll add some more features lateron (eg. support
for poll()/select())

----

This driver is not compatible with alsa, so sox and arecord will not
work anymore instead there's a small testapplication available in
aad_test

$ cd aad_test
$ make
$ ./test | aplay --format=S16_LE --rate=48000 -c 2

(this testtool uses /dev/aad0 it's currently hardcoded).

The driver currently only supports one attached device, it's also on
the todolist.

Now this shouldn't require the linux ubuntu modules sourcepackage anymore.
The aad driver is much simpler to programm and use than the alsa
framework. We have business customers who have serious problems with
alsa which makes it unacceptable to use.
