[LAU] focusrite-control running in wine

[Peter]

Dear All,

just for those who are interested.

I installed VirtualBox and a Windows-10 (90 days trial version from Microsoft)
as a guest.  From that I can connect to the Scarlet 18i20, and the Focusrite mixer program starts
and gives sometimes (strangely not always) access to the mixer. Interestingly,
the Focusrite ASIO program always finds the Hardware, so this supports the remark by
Robin, that those two are indeed independent.

I can't run jack on the same device at the same time, as the virtual machine has grabbed the device.

It looks like, provided I don't actively access the device via Jack or pulseaudio,
it doesn't get blocked by the Linux system.

I made a first test using a Windows version of ardour inside Windows guest.
Seems to run fine at 48kHz, at 96kHz I can record, but it sounds terrible.

Best regards,
Peter
