ALSA is open for all soundcards, but we require working hands, too.
I don't know about someone who is developing driver for CMI chipset for
ALSA at this time.

I should only notice that code for SB16 and WSS is already written and
adding extensions for CMI chipset should eat only one or two days for
programmer which is familiar with ALSA driver.
