Thanks for the information.  I was able to add support for this device quite
a few years ago due to someone lending me one for a short period of time. 
Since then I have not been able to personally confirm that it still works
with the current FFADO code base.  Your report is therefore most welcome.

This - moving to Linux from another setup - is the primary motivation behind
my effort to support these MOTU interfaces.

Due to MOTU's demonstrated hostility toward Linux users one would be
inclined to chose an alternative vendor if purchasing for the specific
purpose of using the interface under Linux.  However, if moving to Linux
with a previously purchased interface such a choice is clearly not
available.  Therefore we try our best to support all interfaces.

Thanks once again for your message.
