Would it be easier to just use the ugen driver and write a 'userland-only'
utility that leveraged the ugen driver's ability to already talk to the
device?  Seems like that would save you a lot of hassle in developing
working code.  There are, however, some bennefits to having a driver -
just wanted to mention this possible solution.
