Yup, but you should check out the sources just for the fun of it! Those
koreans are simply adorable ;).

Yes, this is true, but not overwhelmingly difficult. I.e. the EWS64
differs on many
points with the Hoontech/Guillemot cards, but only in channel opening
routines etc.

AFAIK it was only the CS4232 that was supported, and we already have
that in ALSA and
runs fine with my EWS.
