Yeah, I know this model is not supported, but I would like to change that. I've never
done any kernel programming, but it's never too late to try. I have this device
connected to Linux only box, and I'm willing to work on supporting it if anyone is
interested. This is 6 years old machine, so I can not virtuallize any OS on it (well, I
can, but it's damn slow). Anyone here with enough knowledge to guide me through?
Thanx!

I wouldn't be so sure. The Line 6 USB driver is now part of
the mainline kernel (in staging). I see it in 2.6.35 -- but
I don't know when it was added. It looks like it has X3
support, too.
The maintainer's website is here:
http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/
In the past I've always compiled this as an out-of-tree
module... and it works fine.
The main feature of this driver is that it allows for audio
recording over USB... but it also provides full MIDI support
and maps a lot of the parameters and whatnot to /dev-style
drivers.

I've wrote to the developer (extracted the mail from debian package, although I'm
not debian user) about this and offered access to my machine, but no response. What would
you guys suggest me to do? Thanx!

Yeah, It's been a while since I've gotten a response from
the original upstream dev. I think he's moved on. :-)
I doubt there's much difference between the standard/live
models and the Pro models. In the past, the Pro model just
gives more I/O options (e.g. XLR in/out). Check the
differences between the XT and XT Pro in the driver.
So, I would grab the device ID and add it to the driver and
see what you get. I'm guessing you'll add
#define LINE6_DEVID_PODX3PRO 0x414c
#define LINE6_BIT_PODX3PRO (1 << 7)
(However, get the device ID from `lsusb -vv` and check to
make sure that the (1 << 7) bit isn't already used.) There's
also some other device definitions that you'll need to set
up... just look at how the X3 Live is set up and copy that.
Then grep through wherever you see LINE6_BIT_PODX3 and see
if you need to add your LINE6_BIT_PODX3PRO bit.
Recompile and see what you get.
