Probably the usbpre is the best bet for this. It does have linux drivers
for a while now (18months) Just haven't seen one or heard of anyone
using it round here.

I view the devices like the quattro that need a power supply as similar
to an fx pedal with one major distinction. They are designed to be used
by people behind the mixing desk not on the stage.

That means they will have a lot of available power and sockets.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
