Never used one. If it is able to be used, make sure he checks out
Ardour which uses JACK. It's amazing for multi-track audio work.
For some reason, SuSE stopped packaging it in 10 so you either have to
use the 9.3 rpm, or build your own. I've tested the 9.3 rpm in 10 and
it works.
Some quick googling turns up:
http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Supported_Devices
(all the way at the bottom)
which references this:

Towards the bottom there's some bzipped files. Looks like there's been
some success in talking to the device but still developmental. JACK
support is on the todo list.
