today Dan Dennedy (
dan-AT-dennedy.org), lead developer
of Kino, happened
to stumble on the Linux Audio Blog. He left a few comments especially
relevant to the ongoing 1394 discussion:

[...] Please be more active on the linux1394-devel mailing list. I
have ideas to share with you!
Sorry about being silent on the mailing list... [lots of excuses]. I'll
promise to be more active :)
For the record: Pieter Palmers has written (in a tremendous effort) a
large part of AV/C descriptors parser. This part is still not
completed and needs some clean up, though a great job! Meanwhile, I
have been working on the basic framework (design and implementation).
Unfortunatly, I have stated in my first posting that FreeBob will
support M-Audio devices with the other devices: this is not true.
M-Audio uses proprietary protocols. Nevertheless, the chances to
support those devices are still there.
thanks,
daniel
