  Yes, I installed it just as S C Rigler suggested, and after a reboot, the 
raw1394 device was available to the 'audio' group, and I could launch jack 
with the firewire driver.
   This, however, is dependent on my being a member of the audio group.  I 
did that manually a few days ago, to get around another issue I was 
having.  Looking thru /etc/group now, I see a 'jackuser' group.  Is that 
one you defined, and is it the 'preferred' group to put users into for 
pro-audio work?  If so, maybe it would be better to assign /dev/raw1394 to 
jackuser instead.

In any case, I would suggest adding a section to the 'installing CCRMA on 
F11 & 12' describing the need to subscribe the user to *some* priviledged 
group in order to access the specialized hardware.

I would also suggest moving the section on the RT kernel up higher, as the 
first item after adding the CCRMA repositories, before even thinking about 
playing with applications.
