That's great!

You might think about asking this company whether you can expose a bit
more about them (without giving away the name), like in general what
line of products they make.

For instance, I'm *just* starting to set up a system to run linux
audio stuff on.  After a dismal experience attempting to get an
M-Audio Quattro working (and I CHECKED the alsa matrix before
purchasing, that list can be quite misleading), I'm evaluating my
options for a different sound hardware set up.  If the company that's
supporting you makes audio hardware, I might stick with a soundblaster
a bit longer 'till I can find out who they are, and heavily consider
their support of you when making spending decisions at that time.

Whatever it is they make, someone else might be in a position to hold
their funds and "vote with their wallet" later.
