They have contacted quite a few programmers who have written or
are writting audio software.

There's plenty of interest from programmers, but the company producing
Delfina does not seem to be interested in actually supplying the
programmers with any prototype or development boards.
My attitude is that if they can't be bothered supplying a board to have
software written for it, I can't be bothered investing in a dead
product.
I know that Teijo was willing to support the Delfina in Octamed, but
the Delfina people weren't willing to supply him with a board to work
with.
Bottom line, they will not receive support if they are not willing to
co-operate and colaborate.
Their statement that you don't NEED the board to write software for it
is ridiculous. Audio applications are real-time by nature, one needs
to be able to assess the performance in real-time.
