If that were true, NI would probably lose me as a customer. I've been pissed off for quite a long time because of the file caching/m4a bug that was fixed only recently. If they'd force me to buy a whole package including soundcard for no obvious reason - hello serato!
On the other hand, I don't think NI will piss off loyal users by forcing them to dump their expensive, not very old and perfectly up-to-par hardware because of a new software version. My guess is that current scratch pro users will be able to use the new scratch pro version with their "old" sound cards (after a paid software upgrade that is).
