Echo Audiofire 4 and Ubuntu Studio Jaunty Beta

Tue Mar 31 14:20:34 BST 2009

Asmo,

I have seen similar issues with my Audiofire12's when trying to start after
there has been a timeout crash or I've been doing other things before
attempting to start jack.

I'm not sure who actually has thier nicker in a twist when this happens,
ffado, 1394 subsystem, or the Audiofires.

I have found that powering off the Audiofire's and doing a ffado-test
BusReset seems to get the firewire out of it's malaze.

I've seen this behavior on both 8.04 and 8.10.
