Last week I bought a Rode Interview PRO wireless microphone. It is a beautiful piece of hardware — properly wireless, with onboard storage so I can record street interviews without worrying about signal drops. I have been waiting for sunny weather to take it out for its first real test.

On paper, Linux support should be a non-issue. Plug it in, it shows up as USB mass storage, copy your WAV files off, done. And that part works perfectly. I pulled my first recordings off, edited them, everything was fine.
