You should join the linux-audio-dev list, see www.linuxdj.com Also
read the Linux Audio Guide on djcj.org

For drivers, ALSA (alsa-project.org) can always need capable
developers. ALSA is the driver architecture for pro-audio on Linux.

As smoerk said, there is no ASIO for Linux. There aren't even ASIO
soundcards, I think, there are only ASIO drivers for some soundcards,
for some not, IIR. (Correct me, I'm a Linux guy) 

You're welcome to join the linux audio revolution. But beware, it
isn't easy at first. But when did revolutions come easy ;)

ciao
