[LAU] Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface

[Ronald Stewart]

oops sorry the focusrite does not work, tried to get it going in linux but
it's a bust..... don't listen to the reps, atleast the ones in USA as they
don't really know what a driver is barely so to speak to class compliant or
linux needs is a waste of your time

thnx
