Hi John, Hi List,

well I have not been active on this list for quite some time and haven't 
  followed all threads. Perhaps you already considered comedi ?

It might be interesting to avoid reinventing the wheel once more for the 
HW driver side+have the added bonus of other drivers ready for use.

See:
comedi mailing list
comedi-at-comedi.org
https://cvs.comedi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comedi
for more information.
