I am amazed that they can write any sort of driver without some sort of datasheet. But I do know it does happen, because I have received datasheets that were only written years after a particular sound card was first sold. I would like to stress, that the datasheet does not have to be perfect. We would be quite happy if it has spelling mistakes in, and some wrongly labeled registers. I have received datasheets from other manufactures where some engineer has just scribbled some notes on the back of a piece of paper. The important point I am trying to make is that the data about the sound card does not have to prettily laid out or even 100% accurate. We just need something that helps save us time in developing a driver. Ideally, it should be in some editable electronic format, so that ALSA developers can edit and correct errors in the document as and when they find them. Now, if ESI cannot even provide this, we should highlight ESI in RED in the sound card matrix.
