Ok, so even though the newer VIA chipset is said to have fixed the older issues...

I happened to have a card with TI chipset, so I plugged it in place of the via card.

Worked right out of the box.

Both alsa and jack see the 12 inputs/outputs of the AF12.

ffado mixer see the af12, as does ffado-diag. But ffado-diag still complains about missing modules...

Did you use this chipset with your old computers, too? Don't know, if
this one is good enough for (realtime-)audio.

Sounds stupid, but it worked for me: If you have more than one firewire
port on the firewire card, try them all, one after another!

Greets!
