not really any figuring to it. just because you plug something in and it
reports a name to linux via USB doesnt mean its going to work. you might be
able to get it working, but it might not be supported. i dont think apogee
supports linux, so, as with any device like that without support for the OS
you are using, you might not get support. wont hurt to try, though i would
keep in mind that it may actually not work. good luck again!
