I noticed that on Fedora 12, I get the following

Yup I got that one first... then I realized that jack needed an update.
However, unexpectedly (as suggested by "yum whatprovides"), installing
libffado-devel x86_64 2.0.1-3.20100706.svn1864.fc12 updates
51 k
renders it working one level better:

Same again, this time I needed to "sudo modprobe ochi1394" or something
similar (for the new stack).
Checking further w/ ffado-diag:
///// ///// ///// ///// /////
The new FireWire kernel stack is loaded.
This stack is not supported by FFADO. Please use the old stack.

Running the new stack with a FFADO 2.0.1-3 from CCRMA no problem now. :-)
I suspect that on Fedora13, you'll have better luck as there's a more
compatible firewire stack, or some way of working around the above...
for some reason your message inspired me to try out my Motu 828
(sitting in my "to sell" pile) again, against Fedora 12. Even though I
know it is futile.
If its the firewire 828 i think that was reverse-engineered by some brave
soul,
I owned the USB version for a while, there was no support for that at all...
was
on my "to sell" list. :-)
Perhaps on F13, if you're using the CCRMA jackd, you may find
installing libffado-devel, and not just libffado may
help get your
interface running. I certainly found the behavior unexpected.
the -devel packages are only nessisary if you want to *personally compile*
software.
They (should) never install a object file or the likes. :-O
