Great news, trying alsa stack again.... fails at buffer size 512... try at 
1024 jack starts at least. So "largely fixed" means the minimum buffer 
size has gone from 256 (still too high for live work) to 1024? ffado 
continues to work just fine down to buffer at 16. While buffer at 16 is 
lower than needed (64 seems to be ok) it does show stability.

So at least as of linux 5.15, ALSA firewire is still broken or at least 
not useful and getting worse rather than better.
