I built a new PC and installed Ubuntu Studio 16.04.
The PC has a firewire card.
As firewire has been added to alsa, the alsa firewire drivers are loaded
instead. So you should be able to see your device as an alsa device (check
arecord -l). I have heard (though I have no FW HW) that the old FW drivers
may still be more stable, but to use them you need to blacklist the alsa
FW module(s) so that the old style FW kernel modules can load.
