Re: [FFADO-user] FW to USB [was: Firewire Audio Setting RME FF400 into Ubuntu 20.10]

USB and FireWire are two completely different protocols, you can't get
one from the other. In theory, it could be done: in practice, it's too
complicated.

Also don't be fooled by USB-C connectors: they are used to carry
Thunderbolt-3, but in the majority of cases they carry just plain USB
protocol. Always check the specifications.
