Older HDSP cards work pretty much out of the box, like Multiface I & II with the pcmcia, pci or pcie adapter card. Run hdspconf and hdspmixer. It comes with alsa-tools-gui in any standard distro.
The AIO PRO is a different beast and needs hdspeconf which needs to be compiled.
This is what I personally ran succesfully

Almost all ( in class compliant mode )

Not the hdsp cards
Not the Madiface USB

Pick one interface that looks interesting for you and check the user manual for "class compliant"

In some cases you need a Windows or Mac computer to switch ON CC-mode in the interface, afterwards connect the interface to a Linux computer and use the audio inputs and outputs of the interface directly.
