Extremely nice cards with poor software support. The primary API
driver is available for Linux but closed source, and they never became
popular because of their high price, so I don't think there have been
any efforts to reverse engineer or otherwise figure out the hardware.
I have a pair of these that I was playing with for a job. They cost
something like $500 each when they were bought. I managed to get them
to play DVDs very nicely (through their software) but didn't get much
further than that.
Maybe now that they're $35 (!) some people will buy them up and we'll
start to see some sweet software support. But I wouldn't bet on it..
