 The AWE32 drivers that exist plug into the OSS stuff. It should
be very easy to use the same interface for the ALSA code leaving
the guts of the AWE32 driver untouched. I could help with this
(I know my way around the AWE32) however I have no kernel programing
experience and really want to spend the little time I have coding
my higher level application stuff.
