[LAU] TASCAM Pre-Sales Support Request - Reference: 9L5UWM3B

[Gerald Mwangi]

sorry guys, I just wanted to throw some sarcasm to the Tascams. I'm
going to buy either a Saffire Pro 40 or an older Saffire 26 io (ebay)
from Focusrite. 
Regards,
Gerald

Since I run Linux (Ubuntu) with jack and ardour (www.ardour.org ), I need to know if the device is USB 2.0 audio class compliant or if there are plans for a dedicated driver. Or at least plans to publish sufficient information to the linux audio developers (linuxaudio.org). If nothing is planned in that direction, I will switch to the Firewire solutions from Focusrite, since Focusrite actively supports the linux audio developers! It's not that much work to disclose some information. And you'll have some 500+ linux musicians BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS! Afterall, your a hardware vendor, not a software vendor.
