Hi, A simple message to announce the availability of beta7 of FFADO, the FireWire audio driver framework for Linux. It took quite some time, but finally it is ready for large scale public testing. Release and download information: http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/beta Currently, the installation options are: * manual build from source * semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox' (http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls) * APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others) Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/ or at the mailing list (ffado-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net). Please take note of http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/WritingGoodTickets when reporting bugs. We ask all users of freebob that are not yet testing FFADO to try this beta release. Note that FFADO can co-exist with Freebob without any problems, so you can revert back to your original setup very easily. Enjoy, Pieter Palmers ffado.org
