That sounds plausible Owen.

I think Serato might be more concerned about losing Scratch Live users to Mixxx, since they've recently released The Bridge (http://serato.com/thebridge/) for use with Ableton Live. While Scratch Live is free software, Ableton Live isn't, and I expect Serato and Ableton have some kind of financial agreement based on the premise that Scratch Live will bring in new Ableton Live customers.

Rane may also have a contract with Serato which ties their hardware to Scratch Live? That being said, I think it's definitely worth approaching Rane about opening up the spec - you never know unless you ask. As you say, it's in their interest to provide Linux support, so that more people buy their hardware. There probably just isn't enough demand for Rane to bother developing a Linux driver themselves, but giving us the spec shouldn't be too much hassle for them.

Does anyone know who to contact within Rane about this?
