Hi, here are release notes for the IEEE 1394 subsystem of kernel 3.16 (final release to be available soon, currently at -rc6): snd-fireworks - New ALSA driver, implemented by Takashi Sakamoto, for FireWire audio devices which are based on the Echo Digital Audio Fireworks platform. The following devices are supported: Echo AudioFire 12/ 8 (until 2009 July) Echo AudioFire 2/ 4/ Pre8/ 8 (since 2009 July) Echo Fireworks 8/ HDMI Gibson Robot Interface Pack/ GoldTop Mackie Onyx 400F/ 1200F snd-bebob - New ALSA driver, implemented by Takashi Sakamoto, for FireWire audio devices based on BridgeCo DM1000/DM1100/DM1500 chipsets with BeBoB firmware, in particular: Acoustic Reality eAR Master One Apogee X-FireWire card for DA/AD/DD-16X and Rosetta 200/400 Apogee Ensemble Behringer Digital Mixer X32 series (X-UF card) Behringer XENIX UFX 1204/ 1604 BridgeCo RDAudio1/ Audio5 CME Matrix K Edirol FA-66/ FA-101 ESI Quatafire 610 Focusrite Saffire, Saffire LE, Saffire PRO 10 I/O, Saffire PRO 26 I/O (the older silver model; newer Saffire PRO models use a different chipset) iCON FireXon Lynx Aurora 8/ 16 with LT-FW Mackie d.2 with FireWire option Mackie Onyx 1220/ 1620/ 1640 with FireWire I/O card M-Audio FireWire 1814, ProjectMix I/O M-Audio FireWire 410/ AudioPhile/ Solo M-Audio Ozonic, NRV10, ProFire LightBridge Phonic Helix Board 12/18/24 FireWire MKII Phonic Helix Board 12/18/24 Universal PreSonus FireBox, FP10 (FirePod), Inspire 1394 Prism Sound Orpheus, ADA-8XR Stanton FinalScratch 2 (ScratchAmp) Tascam IF-FW/DM TerraTec Aureon 7.1 FireWire TerraTec EWS MIC2, EWS MIC8 TerraTec Phase 24FW, Phase X24FW, Phase 88RackFW Yamaha GO44, GO46 snd-firewire-lib - several extensions implemented by Takashi Sakamoto in order to support the two new drivers Many of the mentioned audio devices are also supported by the FFADO userspace drivers (and have been for some time) [http://ffado.org/]. The new ALSA kernel drivers are an alternative to (or replacement of) the sound streaming portion of FFADO, i.e. the part which implements PCM and MIDI I/O. Extra userspace software like ffado-mixer remains required for control of device features like router, mixer, clock source, port modes, and so on. Takashi Sakamoto published an extensive report on the new drivers: https://github.com/takaswie/alsa-firewire-report/blob/master/firewire.pdf -- Stefan Richter -=====-====- -=== ==-=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ |
