I just got my presonus firebox working on rawhide. If any of you are interested in firewire audio device support, you'll want to watch these bugzillas...
libfreebob was submitted to FE. It's a userland driver library for many firewire audio devices: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205929
Once libfreebob is in, we need to add a BuildRequires: libfreebob-devel to jack-audio-connection-kit and rebuild.
Then there's a patch for qjackctl, to enable the freebob driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205913
And, finally, libavc1394 needs to be updated in order to build libfreebob. This is the part I'm most concerned about since I don't know what it will take to get the maintainer to upgrade this library. It may be too late for FC6, but I hope not. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205928

Good news... jwilson updated libavc1394 in rawhide, so the right version will appear in FC6. And thanks to nando for freebob-enabling qjackctl. Now I just need somebody to review libfreebob and we'll have some decent firewire audio support in FC6. Any takers?

Firewire audio device support is ready now (for FC6 and beyond). We're just waiting for the packages to get pushed out to the Fedora Extras repositories.
The only trick is that you have to manually load the ieee1394 and raw1394 kernel modules for it to work. Isn't there some way this can be done automatically when I select the FreeBob driver for jack?
