I think we identified the problem as the latest firmware (2.2 / build
7460).  My Saffire stopped working on Feisty at some point, after I
had installed the new firmware.

Also, I was unable to find any mention of the firewire subsystem being
changed in Ubuntu 7.10, so it may be safe to assume that the problem
is the Focusrite firmware, unless you're also running the latest
version.

I still have a Feisty install on another partition and could
experiment with both versions.  On Feisty, I can start JACK with
freebob but connections, while I can make them, seem to do nothing all
of a sudden.

On 7.10, however, JACK refuses to start with freebob because of the
aforementioned sample rate error, which is presumably caused by the
new firmware.


Many thanks,
