[linux-audio-user] RME is no more

Hi all,

sorry for crossposting, just wanted to let everybody know:

The official statement is that there will be no support for ALSA (Linux)
FireWire drivers from RME. In other words there will be no such drivers,
as it is impossible to write them without tons of hardware and software 
documentation from RME. And we won't share these information with
anyone.

Regards
Matthias Carstens
RME

No further explanations.
The moral of this story is:
Never buy a product that isn't already supported in ALSA, such as i did.
:(  There's no guarantee even if pretty much every other card from the
same manufacturer *is* already supported.
Me and Benno talked to Matthias personally during Musikmesse, he was
friendly and seemed to be open with regards to future cooperation with
oss developers.

Seems like things have changed dramatically since then.
