Luke mentioned "Only jack supports firewire audio devices at this time." in his
previous message, copied below. I have a few questions regarding Jack's
firewire support.
How well does Jack support firewire?
Do
I still need a ffado supported device and driver to use within Jack or
does Jack support any and all firewire audio devices without additional
drivers, etc?
Basically, is it plug-and-play, like most USB midi or USB
audio devices that I plug into Ubuntu?
So far, there are no ffado drivers for my ADAT-firewire hardware; so it would
be very cool, but I suspect the answer is sadly no.
Thanks.
Steve

Only jack supports firewire audio devices at this time. In order to get sound
via the firewire device from youtube etc, you would need to set up alsa using
apps to go via the alsa -> jack plugin.
