Alpha 4, not bad at all, I think

[Asmo Koskinen]

I think Alpha 4 is not bad at all (nVidia users do not buy this, of 
course...). Here is what I did.

Some preparations.

1.
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ cat /etc/modules

raw1394
snd-seq

2.
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ cat /etc/security/limits.conf

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -19
@audio - memlock unlimited

3.
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ cat /etc/group | grep studio
adm:x:4:studio
disk:x:6:studio
dialout:x:20:studio
cdrom:x:24:studio
audio:x:29:pulse,studio
plugdev:x:46:studio
lpadmin:x:108:studio
admin:x:115:studio
studio:x:1000:
sambashare:x:120:studio

4.
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/raw1394
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/raw1394
studio at ubuntu-studio:~$ sudo update-rc.d raw1394 defaults 80

Echo AudioFire4 works with phantom mic (ffado-mixer).
