It seems that Morgan's issue is that there is no equivalent of the Ubuntu
jackd2-firewire package in rhel8.  Obviously such a package can't be present
if its dependency (FFADO) is not available, and according to

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1829403#c1

(as posted by Morgan), rhel8 doesn't include FFADO.
