I recorded USB signals with Wireshark with the Rane SL4 plugged into a
Windows 7 VM. I recorded connecting the device, switching the
passthroughs on/off with the driver's control panel program, flipping
the hardware switches, and playing a track with Mixxx. If anyone is
interested in using this to write a driver, respond off-list and I can
send you the 19 MB archive of the USB signal logs.
