recording with the maestro 2e

[epilogue at attcanada.ca]

hello multimedia, mobile,

i unfortunately didn't get a response from anyone at 'freebsd-questions', so i was
hoping that someone here might be able to help out.

i am eager (understatement) to use my laptop as a recording device.  currently, the
maestro-2e driver does not support recording on freebsd.  during my most recent www
quest, i turned up the the following...

the linux driver info from its author: 
http://www.zabbo.net/maestro/

and, more interestingly, the netbsd record enabled maestro-2e man page:
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?esm++NetBSD-current

what do you think about the f-ease-ability of porting the netbsd driver over freebsd?
or using the linux code?  i am no hacker myself, so...

MANY thanks to any who reply.

ciao for now,
epi

hello all,

wondering if anyone knows when the maestro-2e might support recording under
freebsd -- i'm running 4.8.  during my research on the net, i came across various
threads stating that the code is already written, just commented out in the source.

if anyone would have information about when this card might be record enabled
(or instructions on how to implement using the existing code), it would be very
much appreciated.

anxiously yours,
