Hi,

 

The reason I'm asking for this info is that In my day job I work as the Test Mgr for Avid Audio in the Compatibility Test Lab working on device testing for the M-Audio product line. I'm one of the few in my group that use Linux for more than web design in my own time and monitors this thread for my own interests, I know which of our devices work on Linux which do not, and why. There was a great 2 part article by Dave Smith on Linux Audio in Linux Journal last year which I liked very much, I noted that he was requesting better support from the audio vendors as a primary concern for the future of linux audio.   

 

As it turns out the product manager that works on the M-Audio product line of audio I/O devices for existing support has asked me for assistance in learning more about what is needed from the FFADO project to see if it is something that Avid can support. I need to get him chatting with some one or group of folks that can provide some info for him. So for the info provided already, thank you very much.

 

The question that is being asked by a slew of folks and I'm carrying forth to this group is what is needed in the FFADO driver to talk to a 1394 Audio device so that the control panel for FFADO will route audio accordingly that does not require Avid to reveal the source code for the current drivers or firmware?

 

Many thanks in advance.
