 Anybody know if thisone works? they say it's class compliant but I might 
 aswell ask if someone tried it... I've also looked at the NI komplete 
 audio 6, native instruments even says that it should work on linux but 
 some ubuntu users say they can only get it to playback audio and not 
 record, better support might be in the works tho

 I really want the sound devices usbpre2 but it seems to be hard to get, 
 the Finnish importer hasn't responded to any of my mails yet... and 
 thomann sells them for 880? :O which is waaay over listprice.. I realize 
 thisone is in a completely different class than the former two but it 
 can go into standalone mode so it can be used as a preamp/ADC into my 
 tascam dr680.. 
Be careful! I got several devices that are white-listed, some do ship
with Linux drivers.

E.g. I owned a FAX white-listed device, but with a shipset that wasn't
listed anywhere and it appeared to be a white-listed device. There was
no way to know that there's a "unkonwn" chipset.
I own three RFID-card readers of the same type that ship with a Linux
driver, but they don't work.
I own a KORG nanoKONTROL (the old one). It's known that old KORG
software versions work with wine, but the new version and old available
version by KORG don't work with wine.
I own an integrated ATI graphics that should work 3D accelerated with
Linux, but it doesn't, hence I bought a NVIDIA, still a PITA.

"OT: I choose a distro that didn't force me to use PulseAudio and an
upgrade today will force me to install it."

Resume: Linux is the best choice for an OS, but be careful. If you
aren't sure, avoid buying hardware.

I bought a RME HDSPe AIO. It's usable, but I miss entire support for
this card.

If there's any doubt for the device you wish to buy, don't buy it.
Use Linux only, never use Windows ;), but get a device that REALLY is
known as supported by the Linux distro version you prefer.
