The FFADO developers are pleased to announce FFADO version 2.3.0, a package
of userspace drivers for firewire audio interfaces. While there are no
significant new features in this version compared to the last, FFADO 2.3.0
contains a large number of incremental improvements. Users of FFADO are
encouraged to upgrade.
This source-only release can be downloaded from the ffado.org website at
http://ffado.org
or via the direct link:
http://ffado.org/files/libffado-2.3.0.tgz
Notable changes include:
* Configuration entries added for additional devices which work with the
generic support layer (PreSonus Studiolive 32.4.2, Presonus StudioLive
16.0.2, ICON FireXon, Onyx Blackbird and the new Onyx 1640i, among
others).
* Support added for the newer Focusrite Saffire Pro 26.
* Improved build support for various downstream consumers.
* Better routing for selected Saffire devices and the Firestudio Mobile.
* Significant cleanup and refinement of the M-Audio and Yamaha driver.
* Compilation fixes for recent versions of gcc.
* Recover from dead streams without causing jackd to shut down.
Thanks go out to the developers and users who contributed code and
information which went into this release: Kristian Amlie, Melanie Bernkopf,
David Binderman, Philippe Carriere, Yves Grenier, Florian Hofmann, Hector
Martin, Mathieu Picot, Philippe Ploquin, Stefan Richter, Takashi Sakamoto,
Jano Svitok, Karl Swisher, Steven Tonge and Jonathan Woithe.

Wauw fantastic changes :)

I'm very curious as to the PreSonus StudioLive 16.x support, I've had
access to this desk before, and hope to again as I quite liked it...
The device matrix doesn't show the StudioLive 32.x yet [1]

Yes - a huge thanks for improving and making more FireWire based device be
accessible to users around the world!

Just a simple question: does FFADO support the Eigenmike OOTB ?
I know some work on this was done in Parma, but lost track
after that.

At this stage we don't. If the Eigenmike's firewire interface is provided
by a generic chipset (such as BeBoB or DICE) then it's possible that the
only thing needed to support it is a configuration entry mapping the
vendor and model ID to the appropriate driver. To get the vendor and model
IDs we would need someone with an Eigenmike to obtain this information from
the device.
According to the em32 release notes[1] it seems that this device uses the
DICE chipset. It is therefore possible that FFADO would support audio
streaming from this microphone if we knew the vendor and model IDs using the
generic DICE driver. It would have to be tested. The release notes go on
to say that the microphone can be controlled to a certain extent from the
computer. This involves a virtual MIDI stream but the nature of this is not
clear: it could use standard MIDI commands according to a published MIDI
map, or it might use a proprietary command stream embedded in sysex
messages. Obviously FFADO will not support this until someone is able to
identify the nature of the control methods so appropriate software can be
written.
We would of course welcome contributions which lead to FFADO support for the
Eigenmike.

And to extend on what Jonathan said: this will most likely also enable
kernel support (ALSA) for the Eigenmike, since there's already a DICE
kernel module.

I'll ping him about this. Pieter's not actively involved with FFADO anymore
but he might remember some details or know someone who might.

The StudioLive 16.x series seems to mostly work although there is still a
little uncertainty about playback though (see the "PreSonus StudioLive
16.0.2 support" thread on the ffado-user list for example). For some users
it works fine while for others playback is muted (recording works for
everyone who has reported test results). It is not clear whether this
discrepancy was due to FFADO version, distribution, some system
configuration issue or some other as yet unidentified effect. Work on this
continues.

That is almost certainly true - I have been a little slow to update the
device matrix of late. I will try to make some time to bring it up to date
with the 2.3.0 release. Thanks for the prompt.
