@amadeus@mstdn.social I honestly found it very heartening that, after years of requiring drivers, my RME Digiface interface suddenly became class compliant with a firmware update. I doubt that RME did that for iOS compatibility, as that interface makes basically no sense for iPad and iPhone. (It's ADAT only, with no other I/O, so it's only a studio interface.) The only other reason that I can think of to put resources into class compliance is Linux compatibility. @TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza @ercanbrack@mastodon.online

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza @ercanbrack@mastodon.online I also love my Fireface in CC mode. 🤓 By the way, isn't it funny how Apple unintentionally helped improve Linux Audio hardware compatibility through iOS and its CC requirement, while Microsoft, Apple, and the leading tech companies are now pushing things so far that they are giving Linux (and Linux Audio) another boost?

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @amadeus@mstdn.social @TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza That's the second time I've heard about an audio company updating their firmware to support Linux. Awesome!!
