I think it's largely a matter of physical UI. DJ mixers are really not
complicated, but they are very well suited to the job they do. The one
key feature is the crossfader. Without that, forget it.
Ardour is of course more than flexible enough, but that's almost
irrelevant.
But hey, maybe one of these works with alsa's usb-audio driver?

Or this with usb-midi?

actually feels like real equipment. Though
really, YOU NEED A MIXER.
No, you can't use one in a program. No. You can't. End of story. No
mixer, in any software allows you to cue properly (listen to track not
currently going to master in headphones) or have nice smooth
eq/levels.
with all due respect, although you might not consider it the right tool
for the task, ardour will allow precisely that, and via h/w control if
you want it. you just need an audio interface with at least 4 outs.
