I am just guessing in here. But since DMX is a serial protocol, maybe you can send the output of the DMX object and feed it to a comport and send the data to your USB device. Its a long shot, and it  probably wont work. But you can try :D. I normally only used DMX on arduino, making a patch to connect to the arduino serial and arduino communicating to DMX using the libs. I never used "REAL" dmx hardware on the computer side.

I do but it's on windows and mac. I could never get dmx working on my linux box
I use the object Olaf created and it works great

Subject: [PD] dmx and pd

I would like to use pd to control some lights via a wii device. I am on
linux 10.04.
I have the wii up and running in pd, I have compiled dmx512 from the iem
repository, and have the objects dmxin and dmx out in my pd/extra
directory. Since these objects depend upon dmx4linux I tried to compile
the dmx4linux programme which is supposed to create a dev/dmx
directory...... but so far it does'nt do so. The latest version goes
back to 2008, so it may not be viable with Lucid.??
Typing dmesg i see my dmx usb pro interface is recognised as dev/ttyUSB0
when i plug it in.
But the pd objects will not create.
Does anyone on the list have a viable dmx system (preferably using
enttec dmx usb pro) set up on linux that they could inform me about?
Thanks.
Nick.
