The Linux kernel supports it, and the is even some basic support for 1394
audio (in or out only, I forget which).

The audio protocol is called A+M (audio + MIDI), and there is a connection
mangement layer over the top, but there are some licencing issues with
that.

Mark Knecht has been working on somehting along these lines and I have
been collecting documentation for a while, and wront some very simple test
code, but never tested it.
