Hi Ralf,

Well, since I don't really know what you really mean by "really" 
supported, I'll hazard my own method:

if (device != FIREWIRE_DEVICE)
   check (ALSA && 4Front)
     print status
else
   check FFADO
     print status
endif

Wrt USB: The snd-usb-audio module is an ALSA module, but class 
compliance makes things a little more difficult. My method wrt USB 
compatibility is to ask Clemens. :)

Best,
