 I attempted to get the following two OXFW970 based devices working without
 success:

  * !LaCie !FireWire Speakers (stereo output device)
  * Griffin !FireWave (stereo or 5.1 output device; 5.1 might possibly
 involve vendor specific AV/C commands)

 These are consumer-grade devices.   !LaCie !FireWire speakers have a
 terrible sound quality (tried on Mac OS X), and Griffin !FireWave is no
 longer being produced.  The only benefit of getting them working would be
 that I would have dummy devices in addition to my BeBoB based device, to
 test a multi-device setup in kernel driver maintenance.  (I guess I better
 get another fully supported device for that purpose.)

 I am opening a single ticket for both devices because they are both based
 on the same chip and the failure mode of ffado is the same.

 I added the following two sections to
 /usr/local/share/libffado/configuration:
 {{{
 {
     vendorid = 0x00001292;
     modelid = 0x000f970;
     vendorname = "Griffin";
     modelname = "FireWave";
     driver = 4;
 },
 {
     vendorid = 0x0000d04b;
     modelid = 0x0000f970;
     vendorname = "LaCie";
     modelname = "FireWire Speakers";
     driver = 4;
 },
 }}}
 I also tried driver = 3 and got a different failure then (no Music subunit
 detected, I think).

 I'll attach verbose logs from jack 0.118.0 + ffado trunk r1846, libraw1394
 2.0.5, firewire-core/-ohci on kernel 2.6.34.
