One thing I forgot to mention in the other email is the high cost of
buying devices just so one can develop a driver. In theory, one should be
able to use 2 Linux computers, one of them at least having an i210
ethernet card (or similar). But any real test of code would have to
include using it with a commercially available aes67 device. This seems to
also be the biggest problem with todays ALSA code. Firewire is supposed to
be supported in ALSA now but the performance (if the kernel module will
even load) is very poor... but the ALSA developers don't have the devices
they are building for. Even the ALSA drivers for USB 2.0, while working,
have various anomalies that basically force the buyer of expensive USB
devices to work at 256 sample buffer sizes and above while still
encountering dropouts, pops and other troubles.
