  Hiho,

 I'm getting this error at startup with QJackCtl:

 02064605304: (ffado.cpp)[ 92] ffado_streaming_init: libffado 1.999.43
 built Jun 27 2009 18:38:47
 02064832606: [31mWarning (fireworks_session_block.cpp)[ 257]
 loadFromMemory: size not correct: got 13392, should be -4 according to
 data

 and after a while it just crashes jackd.  i don't know the hardware, and i have
no idea of ffado internals, but if
 a size is expected to be "minus four" according to some "data",
i'm
 willing to bet vast amounts of money soaked in expensive red wine that
 there is something wrong with the "data".

 maybe it's related to the configuration data? can you check
 /usr/lib/libffado/configuration for something obviously bogus about your
 hardware? but that's just a shot in the dark. 
 Doesn't seem obviously bogus to me (see below), but then again, who am
 I :)
 Output is below.

 I also just managed to update my system to the latest ffado and jack
 that's in
 Debian unstable, and still get the same error.

 Are there any specific jack settings I should try?
 Right now what QJackCtl is using is:
 /usr/bin/jackd -R -p128 -t200 -dfirewire -r48000 -p1024 -n3

For reference, here's my relevant libffado configuration:

$ cat /usr/share/libffado/configuration
<snip>
  {
    vendorid = 0x1486;
    modelid = 0xAF12;
    vendorname = "Echo";
    modelname = "AudioFire12";
    driver = 2;
    mixer = "AudioFireMixer";
  },
  {
    vendorid = 0x1486;
    modelid = 0xAF12D;
    vendorname = "Echo";
    modelname = "AudioFire12HD";
    driver = 2;
  },

I have an AudioFire12.  I've never heard of an AudioFire12HD.
