I was actually surprised at how well it worked. I was getting better performance out of it than I would in Cubase using OS X. The Firepod is also working on Jaunty on my desktop, but it's a bit more problematic, due mostly to the limitations of the computer itself. Ever since upgrading to Jaunty on my Macbook, I have been unable to get the firewire permissions worked out. Everything seems to be set fine, but JACK just refuses to start and spits out that 'FIFO priority -10" message, or whatever it is, that is usually given when the limits.conf file isn't set correctly. I can't figure out why. When I do, though, I'll let you know how firewire is working in Jaunty on the Macbook. These permissions are going to be the death of me. Can' wait for that new firewire stack people have mentioned to be incorporated. -Brian
