Hi Pandu!
I emailed Focusrite via the support answerbase if they could release a linux
driver. Since all Saffire products are fully supported with Linux and the
Saffire 6 is still very new I hope they will develop a linux driver for it.
I also tried the alternatives (using vista and the enclosed Ableton Lite
Live 7) but it didn't work as good as it could with a linux real-time kernel
;)
This is what I emailed:

Let's hope we get a positive reply.
