#78: Port FFADO to the new firewire stack ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: ppalmers | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: FFADO 3.0 Version: FFADO SVN (trunk) | Resolution: Keywords: | Device_name: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment (by jmpoure): Hello, Well, I jump on this thread to tell my story: * I am from Kdenlive team and I consider myself mid-level in administration. * I bought a firewire device on the information "Full support" on FFADO. * Then I discovered support for the new stack was incomplete. * I lost several days trying to compile the Debian Kernel 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 which resulted in a kernel panic on reboot. FFADO has "perfect" support for some devices, but most distributions lack support for the old kernel stack. So FFADO is a heck to install, especialy when linux sources need patches. Finally, I think there should be a minimal way to make faado work with the recent kernel stack and this should be a priority. You are loosing audience and GNU/Linux users could be using FFADO. At present, GNU/Linux only supports USB audio and PCI audio, this is the truth. Now I am thinking about reselling my audio device. What should I do? Kind regards, Jean-Michel -- Ticket URL: <http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/78#comment:11> FFADO <http://subversion.ffado.org/index.fcgi> Free Firewire Audio Drivers |
