I am using an SSL 2 here:

Tested successfully with Debian 10 amd64 and Debian 11 amd64 each with ALSA  
+ PulseAudio non-professional audio. In case you consider buying it, I might  
be able to do a basic test with a Debian 11 i386, too.

Caveat: I have found the interface to only be recognized properly if I  
attach it _after_ PulseAudio has already started up. Hence, I have it  
disconnected by default and upon needing it, first start `pavucontrol` and  
only afterwards attach the interface.

Btw.: I saw you asked about the Motu M2 earlier
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/09/msg00958.html). Was there any  
progress in getting it to run properly? A cursory internet search suggests  
that there were problems wrt. old kernels and PulseAudio. Additionally, some  
tuning to reduce kernel latency might be needed? See  
https://panther.kapsi.fi/posts/2020-02-02_motu_m4 for a summary.

Back when I searched for audio interfaces, I had also considered the Zoom  
UAC-2 (https://www.zoom.co.jp/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_UAC-2.pdf).  
Reviews seemed to indicate acceptable Linux compatibility, but I do not have  
any first-hand experience with it.
