  No, at this time it doesn't load samples or the firmware, you'll have to
use another tool (the st97 utilities or Gerd Rausch's driver) to load the
samples. You can use the preloaded samples with my driver (e.g.- with
playmidi), but not load them, yet.

  It's a series of soundcards (Maxisound 32, Maxisound 64, Maxisound 64 Pro,
Maxisound 64 Dynamic 3D, ...), all of them share the same foundation (an
ES1868 codec and a SAM9407 DSP), but they differ in the software included
(all for windows) and some of the specs (i.e.- some don't include a cdrom
interface).
