I tried Crossfade on my friend's setup who normally uses Serato. However, it's useless to him and many vinyl DJs because there is no Linux driver for the current generation of Serato sound cards, the Rane SL2, SL3, and SL4. There is an incomplete driver for the old USB 1.1 SL1 that can't control the phono preamps. Fortunately, the SL2/3/4 have the phono preamps controlled by physical switches. The only feature that must be controlled by a driver is analog pass-through. I setup a Windows 7 VM on my computer, plugged in my friend's SL4, and captured the raw USB traffic with Wireshark when plugging in the device, toggling analog pass throughs, and running Mixxx. Would anyone with the ability to do so be interested in using this information to write a Linux driver for these cards? I am also planning on recording the raw USB traffic with another friend's SL3. Does anyone have an SL2 or know someone who does and would be willing to get info for that model?
I posted to alsa-devel and apparently no one there is interested. I emailed Mark Hill, who wrote the SL1 driver, but he hasn't responded since sending an initial reply two weeks ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
