Hi Richard,

In OSS world, there's few developers for this kind of devices, even if 
it's alsa-project. Furthermore, manufacturerer for recording equipments 
have no interests in OSS.

In short, what we can do for these devices is just to 
reverse-engineering. For models of Ethernet-AVB, it might be just to 
transfer or receive packets, and read them. The devices are still 
black-boxes and we have no ways to reveal their details.

So when you require the details to implement something in your side, few 
developers can tell you, I think.
