Of course all that being said, it probably wouldn';t hurt to try;)
On a similar line of thought, What used to set apart the FF800 was some of the features on it, that are slowly becoming much more commonplace on lower end drivers. So it is possible that they may consider it less of a risk now than it was then. ; Maybe not likely, but possible. It really depends on exactly what they consider so important about their driver.

No, I don't believe they would.
RME believes (rightly or wrongly) that they have some very valuable
proprietary "intellectual property" that would be exposed by an open
source driver. I doubt if any number of sales of their devices would
convince them to permit a driver.
