Great!
So your Firepod works on 64 bit (which is my machine, although it is
intel not AMD)
So that is great.  Mine is a Firebox, though I am not sure if it is
before or after.  And, in case you missed earlier in the thread it was
working fine in 12.04 Studio.
So, this is leading me to believe it may be the ffado drivers, rather
than qjackctl.... since you are able to get qjackctl up and running
using firewire.  I may try to use an older verion of ffado to see if
that will work, but I sent an e-mail to the ffado user list, and will
wait for a bit to see if anyone there responds before I get into all the
make install stuff :)
Thanks so much for testing this!!
