Hi
I'm successfully using the snd-firewire-improve alsa modules (which will
be default in kernel version 3.19 - I have used dkms to install under
kernel version 3.18).
The streaming from / to the Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 audio interface is
perfect without any XRUNs - compliments to Takashi Sakamoto for a cool
piece of programming..
What is missing is a generic mixer for dice (eap) based audio interfaces
in alsa-tools.
I would welcome a positive answer as to whether the alsa-project are
considering such an application or know of another method (other than
ffado) to configure dice based audio interfaces.
I should mention here that I have tried unsuccessfully over the last 5
weeks to get the ffado library to work:
* The ffado driver fails to synchronise with jack..
* The ffado mixer app switches the input but not the output and
monitoring sections of the Saffire PRO 24
* The channel numbering in the ffado mixer inputs is crossed 1+2 >>
3+4 and vice versa.
I am not a programmer and cannot judge the quality of the programming of
the ffado code but it is buggy. The standard answer from the ffado-team
is that it's probably the firewire host controller, which is definitely
not the case as the perfectly working snd-firewire, snd-dice modules prove.
Any tips and advice would be welcome.
Cheers, Simon
