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.

Hi Maurizio,
There is a good chance that this device will work out of the box on
recent kernels. You might not need ffado and hence, the bug might not be
present. See [1] for reference.
From my own experience, I can recommend DICE-based
devices (like TC
Eletronic stuff and some Focusrite devices). I own a StudioKonnekt
48
and a Konnekt 24D. Both work pretty nicely without compiling or
configuring anything.
Regards,
Mathias
