[ Disclaimer: I am working on the ffado FF400 driver ] The ffado support for the RME devices is indeed experimental. If you're interested, head across to www.ffado.org and browse the device support pages for the latest information. In short, the latest ffado svn revision contains a driver which should be capable of getting audio into and out of a FF400 (the FF800 will follow once the FF400 has bedded down). Some device controls are also available via ffado-mixer (filling in the rest is mostly a boilerplate coding exercise which I'll do once audio has stabilised). I am continuing testing myself but early adopters (those who already have a ff400 in most cases) are encouraged to try the driver on their own systems to provide feedback to me about how the driver performs on a variety of platforms. To summarise: support for the RME Fireface 400 under ffado is moving in the right direction and is ready for interested people to test, but I would not be saying that it's ready for prime time yet. Having said that, I think the bulk of the work is now done and I want to move on this as quickly as real life permits. :-) Regards jonathan _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
