Hi,
The FFADO team is proud to announce the first release candidate for
FFADO 2.0.
This release candidate is intended to collect feedback about the library
under wide-spread usage. The code should be free of major bugs.
We are looking for packagers that are interested in creating packages
for their favorite distribution. Please contact us if you can help us
out with this.
Release and download information:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1
Currently, the installation options are:
* manual build from source
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1]
* semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox'
[http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls]
* APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others)
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/apt]
Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/
or at the mailing list (ffado-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net). Please take
note of http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/WritingGoodTickets when
reporting bugs.
We ask all users of FreeBoB that are not yet testing FFADO to try this
release candidate. Note that FFADO can co-exist with FreeBoB without any
problems, so you can revert back to your original setup very easily.
Enjoy,

I just downloaded and compiled the tarball using the scons method. I had
to invoke sudo at the install step.
Hoowever. that's as far as I got. When I hit 'start' in jackctl, I get

Yes, now I'm home and I can look at it closer. The 'something that went
wrong' turned out to be a failure on my part. In my haste to run a quick
test, I did not fully seat the firewire cable in its socket.
Once that simple oversight was corrected, ffado loaded, Ardour was able
to connect, and I was able to lay down four tracks for about twenty
minutes without a single xrun. My first recording using the focusrite
saffire 26 and *only* linux-based tools!
Now, I need to learn these new tools. First question: In the jackctl
setup panel, the 'word length' selector is greyed out and showing '16
bit'. How can I enable 20- or 24-bit recording?

Yes, I read that part also. And I had all of two minutes to attempt a
first launch before I had to leave the house. When it failed, I just
quickly sent out this post, knowing I'd have to follow up later.

With FFADO, it's always 24 bit. Maybe the default in qjackctl should be
24bit then...

Thanks.
It would be more logic imho if there will be a apt repo for Hardy
instead of Gutsy... Hardy is more recent and an LTS version...

I would be happy to build a hardy version (based on whatever Debian
rules you already have). But, I will not want to publish anything
until I have a working system to test it on. :-)

Indeed. But I still run gutsy, which is why I built gutsy packages.

An update for MOTU users:
RC1 breaks MOTU support. Please keep on using Beta7.
It is still available at:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/beta
We will be fixing this soon.

I'm working on Planet CCRMA (Fedora) packages based on Jarod Wilson's
spec file. There is something missing from rc1 which is a way to easily
install in a destination directory that is not PREFIX. The package build
environment does not have write access to, say, /usr, and installs in a
"buildroot", for example /var/tmp/faado/ (and inside that you have usr/,
etc, etc).
Usually programs include something like DESTDIR= to set that directory
so that the install can be "redirected" without compromising all the
internal paths and references which should still point to PREFIX.
