[linux-audio-user] Firewire HW

[Reuben Martin]

I'm trying to keep up with these threads about people venting
frusteration with propreitary 1394 audio interfaces. Wouldn't all these
problems be fixed and everybody be happy, users, OSS advocates, and
hardware manufactures if rather than dealing with drivers, a robust
pro-audio transport standard specification was created for 1394?
Something similar to how you can plug in any DV cam with firewire and
"it just works" (tm)?

How hard would it be to get all these developers, or at least a
siginificant portion of them, to sit down and hammer out a firewire
proaudio spec they would all be willing to support?
