I, too, have looked into writing a driver for this chip family. As mentioned, the PDF documentation online is unreadable, and I have contacted Yamaha about reciveing a hardcopy. I was unable to get my card operational with the oplsa2 driver, though I will have more time this weekend to play with it.
