Is the Velleman K8062 able to be used as an interface by QLC+ on the RPI?

By looking at the sources, Velleman seems to be currently supported only on Win32. No linux, no mac os x, no win64.

See also: http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/vellemanoutput.html

However: by reading the dll sources at http://www.velleman.eu/support/downloads/?code=K8062 it looks like the velleman is a HID device with VID=0x10CF and PID=0x8062,
so with a little experimentation, most probably it could be supported even without their dll -- meaning all systems.
Since someone must write the code, I can't give you any estimation.

It's not a HID device (otherwise it would appear under the HID plugin devices, right ?)
I just assembled one and I will probably add the Linux support in the next weeks

Note that OLA seems to support the device, so you may have luck using ola plugin.
