Please don't advertise using ffado towards unexperienced users. We can't 
cope with the RTFM type of support that would generate. FFADO is 
currently only for users that already sort-of know what they are doing, 
and who we don't have to help setting up their system.

Keep in mind that all time spent on support is not spent on development.

Greets,
