So, rather than whine to myself about it, or whine about nobody else doing it, I'll put my money where my mouth is. PCI vendor id 0x125d, device id 0x1969. The first person to commit a working driver for it, or to submit to me a working driver for me to commit on their behalf, will be paid US$100. I reserve the right to judge whether the driver "is working," but I will at least demand that half-duplex recording and playback at all supported bitrates work, and that basic mixer functions work for pcm, line, aux, cd and mic (all as record sources or playback devices). The source code must be made available under the FreeBSD license (or a compatible one) that does not infringe on any other copyrights, and submissions must be made in good faith. At most, one prize will be awarded. Any code committed by me will, of course, have full credit given to the submitter and will not be deemed a work made for hire under copyright law. Accounts on a machine with this device running -current can be made available if necessary to other committers (sorry if this is unfair, but there's an issue of trust at work here). If US$100 seems cheap, I'm sorry. But the number is 5 times the price of an OSS license.
