RME for e.g. is willing to talk to ALSA developers to fix the HDSPe AIO
issues, if need be and I would have the abilities, they even are willing
to help me, but they prefer to talk to ALSA developers, but I neither
have the abilities, nor the money to pay somebody, so here we have a
want of coders.

That's the nature of unpayed FLOSS and nobody is to blame for that, most
of us have not the time and money to do it.
