I also bought mine from ebay, and it was a great purchase. In fact, at the time I was so excited about it, I almost bought a few more of them, and three of the rotary versions as well. My plan was to disassemble them, and put them all into a single mixer box (sorta like a MidiBox - http://www.ucapps.de/ ), arranged like a typical analog mixer, with several assignable knobs being above each fader. Anyway, as my free time became less and less, and the U.S. economy started slipping away, the idea went nowhere.
Good luck with it, and I'm sure we will see some great results. :) The Behringer B-Control software is JAVA based, and does run under Linux, but I have not had the hardware hooked up to it when running it. Something I will try soon.
