The shuttle pro is a nice controller. However, using linux/inputs limits 
it to linux use and would not be able to be merged with the rest of the 
code. I would suggest looking at the fp8 and other controlers using USB 
directly. This would allow the code to be used with windows or MacOS.

This is not hard, but not easy to give an overall answer to either. Things 
are broken down into 3 kinds of things, actions which you already know 
about, session controls (global things like transport) and stripable 
controls which are per track/bus/vca. Look in session.h and stripable.h 
for an idea.
