Are you interested in joining the FFADO project? (short into: FFADO = new FreeBoB = drivers for FireWire Audio Interfaces / www.ffado.org). We need somebody that wants to write the ALSA support for FreeBoB / FFADO. Currently we only support jackd directly. The main reason that there is no ALSA support is simply that there is nobody that is doing it. We have a library that exposes an API that can be used to write backends for audio API's, and we have the jackd backend as an example. It's simply a matter of putting it all together, but we need someone to do it. To be frank/direct here, I think that ALSA is better 'completed' with FFADO support than with driver support for obsolete cards. But of course I'm a little biased here :). Greets, Pieter Palmers
