> The matrix is not unmaintained. My experience was this: Some time ago, I saw the Midiman DMAN PCI was listed as untested. I bought one of these cards and did quite a bit of testing, then posted the results to alsa-devel as it says at the top of the matrix that this is the proper place to send corrections. Summary: playback worked, recording didn't (at the time). To this day the card is still listed as untested. I appreciate that it's a lot of work for a volunteer, and I don't mean to criticise you personally. It's just with ALSA going into the mainstream kernel this matrix is a really crucial document, and the information that exists in the community is not being incorporated into it. I think there's a strong case for one of the Linux distributors to pay someone to maintain this information. At the moment, it seems none of them could answer the question 'will my soundcard work?', since they all appear to refer back to the ALSA site. Cheers Daniel
