Now what?<br>
<br>
Believe me: Sharing interrupts is still a bad problem in this century. At<br>
least when you have to interrupt-heavy devices like firewire and graphics share<br>
the IRQ.<br>
<br>
And its not that re-assuring that the other operating system works: There you<br>
have a special driver that works around the hardware quirks. And if you look<br>
at your sound-devices documentation, they will tell you a long list of<br>
probably-not-working controllers and only a small list of working ones.<br>

</div>What it says, is that ffado (the bit of software you use to make jackd talk<br>
firewire) has an extensive README-file which explains what to do in case you<br>
need help or want to report a bug. Because most people (you too!) miss to get<br>
us all the information we devs need. And we feel that our spare-time is better<br>
spent hacking and fixing then telling people the same things over and over<br>
again. Thats why you really should read the README-files of apps/libraries.<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>

PS: Your style of citations is broken and a strange mix of TOFU and<br>
citations...<br>
