  I still have my old (Bebob-based) Focusrite Pro26I/O, which I haven't used at 
all for the past four years, and before that, I was running Jack with ffado 
backend on Ubuntustudio 12.04, I think.
   About a year ago, I found need to do some testing of an SPDIF device, so I 
pulled the old focusrite out and frustrated myself for a few days trying to get 
a driver stack, any driver stack, talking to it on Ubuntustudio 18.04.  No joy.
   I should have sold it when I retired it, when there was still working drivers 
available...

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's
  Citizens United ruling, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish
  that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons
                        entitled to constitutional rights.
