I saw a demo of their linux drivers in the LAC2005 conference and it was
working... but not completely. They did play soundfiles from a pc to a
freebob compatible interface (and they were showing several of them at
the conference). Anyway, if I understood correctly they are about 2 - 3
months away from releasing a truly working version of the drivers. Very
good news, I think.
