USB audio is a standard so it might be incredibly easy to do this depending on what mackie did. if the documentation indicates that it needs no drivers for OSX than it's a class compliant device and all you should need to do is find it's ID string using lsusp and then stick it into the appropriate array in the driver: [jutz@jutz-fc6 ~]$ /sbin/lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical you should be able to find it this way. if osx needs a driver or loads firmware for it, then it gets more complex, but not too complex. An example of a firmware loading device is the Emagic A26 and A26m. It works in linux because it's class compliant after the linux driver loads the firmware and then exits(i think it exits!). > All the best, > > Sava > > > _______________________________________________ > Alsa-devel mailing list > Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel > _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
