One month ago I ask na?vely to the ESI support if the driver of the juli@ or the wave terminal sound card will be release for linux in 2005 and the reply was : "We currently haven't planed any Linux support for *all* our devices" So I reply that they were crazy, and that probably they will miss the train one day, because more and more users are switching to linux everyday (I hope so :)), so they reply that they were forwarding my email to the HQ (!?) staff. no news after that :-( Perhaps you are better informed, but I woulkd not be so optimistic with ESI !
