[linux-audio-user] success/failures with M Audio / Edirol Firewire cards ?

[Mark Knecht]

As of today I believe that you cannot run any 1394 audio device under
Alsa. There are no released drivers for any of these sort of units.

A while back Steve Harris indicated that there was some work underway
to support these but I've heard nothing since. I might be willing to
pick one up and be a beta tester if there is a real effort to make
these work.

Sorry for such news. I hope someone pops up and indicates I'm wrong
because it would e good news for laptop users.

Take care,
Mark
