Oh shite..This is like the biggest disappointment this

Could there be a fast routine I could run at the store to test whether
it'd work? I'll be bringing my laptop with me so I guess I should at
least be able to determine whether the device can be used.
Thanks for the response so far guys.
Scott: Is your lspci -v output similar?
~$ sudo lspci -v
...

Same except latency. Here ya go:
# lspci -v | grep -i firewire -A12

I really have no answer why it's worked out for me so well. Maybe the latency setting
is a factor? A long time ago I tried adjusting that in 8.04 to get it to work but it
made no difference. The FFADO wiki has said it doesn't work since Ubuntu Studio 8.04.
It didn't work in 8.04 for me so I tried 8.10 and it worked great. 9.04 works too.
However, I prefer Fedora/CCRMA now. YMMV.
