You're not running the real-time kernel.

Have a look at planet ccrma.  They have a set of RPMs (installed via
yum) for Fedora to set you up with the real-time kernel, jack, and a
whole slew of other cool apps.

You may wish to read the recent discussion on the 896 HD on the
ffado-devel list.  I'm in the same boat as Kevin.  I've ordered a
PCILynx-2 card (IOI-1394TT) to attempt to capture the protocol and see
if we can get this baby working.

If you're interested, you can get these cards from this company for
around $70 US plus shipping:

Mine's on it's way now, so if you're curious, I can let you know when
it arrives.  So far they've been very responsive.
