thunderbird (aka "PCI.? bus on a cable") is presumably the right answer.
Has just a new interface saw the light which I haven't heard of, yet?
Thunderbolt it is.
Okay, but is there already a running thunderbolt device on linux?
Thunderbolt is basically just PCIe. I don't think that it has drivers
of its own, like Cardbus (as opposed to PCMCIA) didn't because if you
could not access that bus, you could not run your computer in the first
place.
I have a Dell XPS 15 with Thunderbolt 3 and a Dell Thunderbolt dock. My
USB sound card is connected to the dock and shows up transparently as
its usual USB self and works OOTB.
I've heard numerous people state that a stock Apple TB-FW Adapter worked
fine with Firewire soundcards under Linux laptops (Lenovo I think) that
had Thunderbolt interfaces (there was a time they were popular for
somewhat model-agnostic docking stations). Even if you had to use
another TB3->TB1/2 adapter in between for newer Thunderbolt interfaces.
And some FW800->FW400 cable.
I've heard that, too. I have a Presonius 12-channel Firewire device I'm
planning to use on my set up the same way - TB3>TB2 adaptor.
