Hello!

My name is Christian Fischbach. 
I am a german student studying computer-science in the 4th year.
At this moment I am studying in Spain for one year (I do not recomment
this!). I needed to by a laptop here with a ES1869 soundcard.
Well, this card works with the ES1688 driver but not in 16 bit full-duplex
mode. Because I am writing an Internet-Conferencing-Tool with some other
german students, this is very important for me and because it is a laptop
I can not easyly change the soundcard.

So my question. Is anyone here working at a driver for this card? If not
I would try to start with this. I can say, that I have much experience in
programming in C, but I do not have much experience in kernelprogramming.
So if I need to start with the driver I would need very much time to
understand the basic concepts.

So far, best wishes form Madrid,

        greetings,

              Chris
