Hi folks!

well, the firmware must be free software, because it is distributet by 
the alsa project.

if you go here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Echo_Corporation#matrix

you find my card in the second line. the dirver is gina20. unfortunately 
it says "discontinued", whatever that means in this context?

the problem is, i don't have enough time at the moment to fiddle around 
with this thing, but i'll keep you informed as i discover some solutions.

i downloaded the alsa 1.0.11 source plus fimrware source but i couldn't 
build it due to an error during the execution of the configure script. 
do i need to have the kernel sources installed as well to compile alsa 
firmware?

greetingz
