Is some support for the Turtle Beach Maui planned, or is it
fundamentely different from the other cards mentioned [e.g. does not
have the WaveFront chip]?

Can the ALSA driver (SB16) be mixed with the OSS driver (Maui), or
only by some hacking (OSS to another major device number and create
some custom /dev devices)?
