The shuttle pro is a different class of product, and the support
for that with linux/ardour is called sxpress, and was recently written and available
here: http://www.helsinki.fi/~stsavola/software/
As for the m-audio stuff and other midi-like devices see the other
posts here. I'm a little confused as to the scope of the interfaces
you are interested in, as m-audio doesn't appear to make control
"surfaces" or transport control devices.
