Legal vs illegal.   Other ESS drivers that were published by some before
these 2 cards were illegal.  In that someone violated ESS NDA's and the
drivers contain copyrighted information.   Anyone who wants to build a
ESS based dac, that fully utilizes the chips capabilities,  needs to
bury the that information in a micro controller that controls the
dacs......then the linux drivers just sends a basic command to the
Micro-controller.   That is how the Katana, and the Audiophonics iSabre
Q2M function.
