  We have a PAS-16 on order (the one card we know of that does
   full duplex audio) and hope to work on full-duplex linux audio
   support whenever it shows up.  That's probably at least a
   month away.

The PAS-16 are problematic and in some motherboards it generates 
a horrible noise . The work around is to defined in the linux
sound driver "BROKEN_BUS_CLOCK". They are other quality issues
with the PAS-16.

They are well aware that the GUSes support dual dma in fact Steve Mcanne
forwards people to me so I can give them the code.
