README.txt
======================================

*** Tue Jan 21 22:59:00 CET 2014
Laurent Epinat from France has expressed his interest in the project,
has experience writing hardware drivers, and will be able to help! :-D
Merci beaucoup, Laurent!

Torsten Schenk, author of http://sourceforge.net/projects/sixfireusb/
has provided some initial help, and confirmed I may use his driver sourcecode. :-)
Thank you, Torsten!

this might be pretty much what we're aiming for:

also check out
usbmon - monitor USB traffic

adding some initial ALSA code.
links/sources of information:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/writing-an-alsa-driver.html

what's this?

note: 
looks as if ALSA talks USB(2.0), so no libusb needed?
anyway, we need libusb for testing/research.

note: 
EMU-0202 is a USB2.0 audio device working on linux:

created multimixusb20-src/testprograms/libusb1-test.c
looks like this whole thing will depend on libusb1, so we try to create something that spits out USB stuff from device.

I started this project to initiate support for the Alesis Multimix8 USB2.0
multichannel mixer audio interface under Linux.
Currently I have no a single clue on how this is gonna work.
