Launching the qjackctl raises other issues ... when I start it, it's stopped immediately due to: cannot create /dev/shm/jack-1000 directory (Permission denied) cannot create server sockets cannot create engine and noticed that the only options under "Interface" setup are: hw:0, plughw:0, /dev/dsp ... but all these correspond to the built-in HDA card and not my firewire. only one device is register as a card: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0x9b500000 irq 20 I do have a /dev/raw1394 ... but something is not configuring it as an audio device, right? // Sal ________________________________ From: John Rigng To: S.

We want to develop some new apps on linux and the only info I've found is: http://www.olafchrist.de/ieee1394/index.php, but its rather old and single device specific. > > Are there any other solutions available? Or are there other devices (firewire) that are supported by the ALSA project? Have you looked here? http://www.ffado.org John
