dear list, this is what i've found at echo audio site,
Where are the BeOS drivers? Due to a lack of useful audio applications,
Echo has regretfully decided to suspend driver development for BeOS for
the time being. However, we are planning to release our core C++ driver
library as open source. This will allow BeOS, Linux, or BSD enthusiasts to
pursue writing their own drivers, should they choose to do so.
Are you going to make Linux drivers? At this time there is no scheduled
time for the development of Linux drivers or release our code to the open
source community or outside developers. We do plan on doing this sometime
soon.
