Thanks, that explains it for me.

Which underlying hardware driver does it use?

Looks like the only "UNIX support" they do is have an NDA with OSS, who

have drivers for the better M-Audio cards (and RME Hammerfall) in

their binary, nonfree drivers ...

True, but that's way over the level I need. Nowadays, I do my audio

work on FreeBSD using sox, ecasound, snd, and ardour - just curious

about migrating this to OpenBSD.
