In theory, it would be possible to put a PCIe/PCI bridge chip on the card, like with the Xonar DX/D2X/STX. However, the driver's .inf file says that the PCI vendor ID of the controller chip is not 1412 (IC Ensemble) or 1106 (Via) but 19FE, which, according to <http://www.pcisig.com/membership/vid_search/>, does not exist. However, Google reveals that the chip is a Tenor TE7000L, made by Galaxy Far East Corp., who should be well-known to anybody serious about pro-audio. ;-) <http://www.gfec.com.tw/ics.php> (The ESP1010e proves that this chip actually exists; I wouldn't have deduced this from the pictures of their PCI audio chips, which are actually pictures of the TE7029L with different chip numbers photoshopped in.) To answer your question: That web site says "PCI driver ready – Linux, Windows". I'm not sure what "ready" is supposed to mean, but it certainly doesn't mean "can be simply downloaded". Try asking GFEC and ESI.
