The first generation of scarlett-devices is supported by the Linux-kernel. Since Linux 3.19 there is a dedicated driver to expose the complete mixer interface and there are also some UIs. At some point Focusrite changed the USB-IDs, and perhaps also the protocol. As far as I know, nobody has yet investigated or reverse engineered those.
