[LAD] Call for testing: ALSA driver for Fireworks/BeBoB based devices

Hi all, This is a call for testing my ALSA driver for Fireworks/BeBoB based devices. Please test 'snd-fireworks' for Fireworks and 'snd-bebob' for BeBoB if you have some devices listed in the end of this mail. Status: - still under development - Without snd-dice and Clemens' development (I must do this later) Functionality: - playback/capturing (full duplex) with PCM/MIDI interface - hardware metering for some devices with CONTROL interface - switching clock source/digital interface/digital mode with CONTROL interface - print hardware status with PROC interface Note: - Don't use simultaneously 'ALSA PCM/MIDI playback/capture' and 'jackd with Firewire (FFADO) backend'. Both of them try connecting to the device when another is running. - I add much modification into snd-firewire-lib for full duplex synchronization of receive/transmit AMDTP stream. Requirement: - Linux kernel 3.11 or later because of Juju (nickname of Firewire stack) changing its API. - Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) is reccomended for safely installing/uninstalling (I work with Ubuntu 13.10) Bug report: - report with /proc/asound/cardX/#XXX - please send your experiences to me with the output How to install (DKMS): 1. $ git clone https://github.com/takaswie/snd-firewire-improve.git 2. $ ln -s $(pwd)/snd-firewire-improve/ /usr/src/alsa-firewire-3.11 (superuser) 3. $ dkms install snd-firewire/3.11 (superuser) How to uninstall (DKMS): 1. $ modprobe -r snd-bebob snd-fireworks snd-firewire-lib (superuser) 2. $ dkms remove ans-firewire/3.11 --all (superuser) 3. $ rm /usr/src/alsa-firewire-3.11 (superuser) 4. $ rm snd-firewire-improve How to install (Manual): 1. $ git clone https://github.com/takaswie/snd-firewire-improve.git 2. $ cd snd-firewire-improve 3. $ make 4, backup system snd-firewire-lib/snd-firewire-speakers/snd-isight (superuser) 5. install snd-firewire-lib/snd-firewire-speakers/snd-isight/snd-fireworks/snd-bebob (superuser) 6. depmod -a (superuser) How to uninstall (Manual) 1. modprobe -r snd-firewire-lib snd-firewire-speakers snd-isight snd-fireworks snd-bebob (superuser) 2. remove snd-firewire-lib/snd-firewire-speakers/snd-isight/snd-fireworks/snd-bebob (superuser) 3. recover snd-firewire-lib/snd-firewire-speakers/snd-isight (superuser) 4. depmod -a (superuser) Confirmed to work: - AudioFire4 - AudioFirePre8 - Ozonic - Firewire Solo - Firewire Audiophile - Firewire 410 == Fireworks based devices [Echo Audio] AudioFire2 AudioFire4 AudioFirePre8 AudioFire8 (till 2009) AudioFire8 (since 2009) AudioFire12 [Gibson] RIP [Mackie] Onyx 400F Onyx 1200F == BeBoB based devices [Yamaha] GO44 GO46 [M-Audio] (to control mixer channels please use FFADO upstream) Ozonic Firewire 410 Firewire Audiophile Firewire Solo NRV10 ProFireLightbridge [Focusrite] SaffirePro 26 I/O SaffirePro 10 I/O Saffire(LE) [Edirol] FA-66 FA-101 [TerraTecElectronic GmbH] Phase88FW PhaseX24FW [PreSonus] FireBox FirePod [Mackie] OnyxFirewire [Tascam] IF-FW/DM [Behringer] X32 [ApogeeElectronics] Rosetta200 [ESI] Quatafire610 Regards Takashi Sakamoto o-takashi(a)sakamocchi.jp
