Hi all,
I'm working to get ffado installed and functional to operate a Focusrite
pro26 firewire audio device. My goal is a DAW using:
ffado
jackd w/freebob
rosegarden
hydrogen
sooperlooper
ardour
If anyone has any experience/comments/suggestions with regard to ffado
and/or freebob and jackd, your help is greatly appreciated. I'll repost
any progress I've made.

Here is what I've done thus far (my blog
http://bisque.linuxsoup.com/?q=node/42)
Step 1) Compile ffado
- At this time I'm not going to post all of the rpms I needed to add
after a default Fedora 9 install
- Update libraw1394 from rawhide repo
+ edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo to enable
+ yum update libraw1394
- Retrieve ffado (run the following)
+ cd /usr/local/src
+ svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
+ cd libffado-2.0-beta6
+ scons
+ scons install
Step 2) add libffado.so to system library path
+ echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ffado.conf
+ run 'ldconfig'
+ below is output from one of the test commands
[libffado-2.0-beta6]# tests/test-ffado ListDevices
verbose level = 0
Using ffado library version: libffado 1.999.36-

Step 3) jackd with freebob driver
+ no luck yet
Step 4) fix step 3
