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.
