What digidesign should do, is to make their own specialized distribution
of linux to run protools with, and set up a list of recommended hardware. 
Then they would solve various hardware- and software-issues running
protools on a PC, and they would automatically give back a lot
to the linux-community thru work on the protools linux distribution and
getting a bounchelibounch of new audio linux users.

But perhaps they won't do that, because more people will discover ardour 
and won't use protools...
