True.

I probably had all that was needed to build ffado in the first place. For  
someone else (on IRC), apt-get build-dep libffado was not enough to build  
ffado.
And the missing header was not the one in libffado-dev.

My mistake. I was in a hurry and di not put many seconds into this.

So, maybe you can tell us why someone was not able to build ffado after  
installing build dependencies for libffado?
