Some recent FireWire related development in ALSA got

I ended up doing a large-ish interview with Clemens Ladisch of ALSA,
and the FFADO team on the state of support for FireWire audio
interfaces in Linux.

Excellent article/interviews. However, it ignores a rather salient
development - the gradual disappearance of Firewire from desktop and
laptop machines. The last time I shopped I was surprised to see that FW,
like PCI, is becoming rare hardware, presumably due to improved
performance from USB3 (?).
Otherwise a fine piece. Thanks for the pointer, Alex !
