[LAU] Focusrite Saffire Pro 10, firewire and freewheel

Hello, I'm going to buy an used Focusrite Saffire Pro 10, but I wanted to be sure about its usability on linux and ardour before. According to the ffado page about it, the support is complete, but it looks like there's a bug while on freewheeling mode, as reported here: http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/359. What I need to understand is the bug still exists (sometimes bugs just disappear, or are resolved from another upgrade and are forgotten) or, eventually, if the related alsa/firewire stack (the Saffire seems to be compatible with the snd-bebob driver) has the same problem too. Does anyone here have such a device and can report his/her experience? Thank you for your help, MaurizioB PS: Sorry for double posting here and in other forum/ML. The vendor has kindly agreed to wait for an answer from me, but I don't want to take too much advantage of it. -- È difficile avere una convinzione precisa quando si parla delle ragioni del cuore. - "Sostiene Pereira", Antonio Tabucchi http://www.jidesk.net
