No really. Most manufacturers do not make a Linux driver, so if the interface is not 100% USB compliant (and most are not, Tascam 1800 for example) the interface will not show up. I have already tried this and found for example, Tascam didn't work, but Presonus USB did. Linux is most likely not an option.
It's an option for now, at least.
