thunderbird (aka "PCI.? bus on a

Has just a new interface saw the light
which I haven't heard of, yet?
Thunderbolt it is.
Okay, but is there
already a running thunderbolt device on linux?
Thunderbolt is basically just PCIe. I don't think that it has drivers
of its own, like Cardbus (as opposed to PCMCIA) didn't because if you
could not access that bus, you could not run your computer in the first
place.
I've heard numerous people state that a stock Apple TB-FW Adapter worked
fine with Firewire soundcards under Linux laptops (Lenovo I think) that
had Thunderbolt interfaces (there was a time they were popular for
somewhat model-agnostic docking stations). Even if you had to use
another TB3->TB1/2 adapter in between for newer Thunderbolt interfaces.
And some FW800->FW400 cable.
Sticking to the good old PCI-Clasic device, I wonder
if pipewire does
work well with RME HDSP. Last time I tried, I wasn't lucky.
Interesting since
the RME HDSP is probably one of the best
ALSA-supported devices ever.
That's the thing I wanted to hear… :)
Maybe I misconfigured pw or it got confused by several tweaks I did to
my system, the last time…
I did a fresh debian testing install. Initializing pw should be much
easier, now, with the new system.
Check dmesg output to see whether there is a problem with loading the
firmware.
