Various recent versions of ALSA now have native support for Firewire,
migrated/ported/reimplemented from FFADO. So yes,
JACK->ALSA->{firewire device} is now possible for at least some
devices.

Saw something I didn't expect while debugging my

/proc/asound/cards, an entry named FCA202, which was my Behringer FCA202
firewire interface. Since when does ALSA do Firewire interfaces?
I'm tracking a very intermittent freezup bug of some sort, and thought
perhaps this ALSA driver was interfering with JACK and its Firewire side,
and have blacklisted the driver involved (snd_oxfw) just in case. It will
take a lot of testing to come to an opinion whether or not this eliminated
the problem.
But meanwhile, does this mean that I have the option of using
JACK-->ALSA-->FCA202 as well as JACK-->Firewire-->FCA202?
Anyone know which perhaps I should prefer for high performance at low
latency? I'm running 96KHz and liking it a lot...
In case it helps: kernel 4.1.3 Liquorix, Debian Testing, 64-bit, up to
date.
