[LAU] focusrite-control running in wine

[Ralf Mardorf]

I didn't test running the Scarlett 18i20 software in wine or using a
VM. I suspect the culprit is, that any kind of virtual
machine/emulation still rely on the host's drivers/kernel modules.

Did you try to add the 18i20 ID to the Linux thingy (I've forgotten it's
name) available for the Scarlett series?

I don't care for two reasons, until now I only used the 18i20 2nd Gen
for my iPad and even if should use it for Linux, I simply would need a
class compliant interface, the same way it's used with the iPad.

I'm using Linux for mixing purpose with a RME HDSPe AIO. The next
interface I much likely will buy is a RME Babyface, for usage in class
compliant mode, too. The loss of HDSPmixer is much harder, than missing
the Focusrite mixer, but actually class compliant usage without
proprietary/vendor specific software is the most painless way to go.
