Live on LINUX?

has anyone gotten Live to work on Linux, Bsd, or some other Unix under Wine?

I've gotten Live to work slowly under OS X, which is a flavor of BSD...

*ducks*

Not sure about whether WINE has the DLLs for sound support. There's a fork listed in the FAQ for gamers that might have requisite support.

Tried VMware? You might get better results there...

slightly OT, but have you seen the reports that by the time of Mac OS X 10.4 it could be binary-compatible with Linux, i.e. apps built for PowerPC Linux will just work under OS X, or at most need a simple re-compile.
No help if you're using Linux on Intel, I know, but kinda interesting.

Except that Linux has no CoreAudio, VST, Carbon, CoreMIDI, CoreFoundation...how should Live run without these frameworks?

my major impetus for wanting live on linux is that i could run it with multiple, simultaneous, fully functional, mouse cursors.

it's not so ridiculous

wine is a windows compatibility layer for linux
reaktor, fruityloops, and many other programs work fine through it under linux

Nice to see that someone else is into the multiple cursor idea as well. I've wanted this in Windows for quite some time. Then all we would need is a nice Nintendo Powerglove type of mouse, so that we can get cursors for each finger.

I don't think it's ridiculous either. I would like to see live on linux also, via wine or native would be better. but I'm not sure if the current state of ALSA and LADSPA are stable enough for a comercial audio app. and this would probably be very hard to do also.

about the powerglove, I think I remember seeing a MAX patch that converted powerglove into MIDI to be sent over rewire. very cool to control plugins. or maybe it would just be like keyboards with guitar straps?

Who needs a mouse cursor when there are MIDI knobboxes?

How well does Reason run in Wine? I know that a well-tuned Linux can offer real low latencies with native applications (e.g. pd or jMax), but how does that work through the Wine layer? Does Wine support MIDI hardware?
