    149149to install libffado before you build jackd. The backend to use in jackd is 
    150150firewire.

     208 
     209An important remark is that for good performance, one should always run jack 
     210with the -R flag to enable realtime scheduling for critical threads: 
     211    $ jackd -R -d firewire 
    205212 
    206213In case of problems 
    207214------------------- 
    208215 
    209 Under the tests directory there is a test program. You should first 
    210 try to run this. 
    211  
    212 If you don't have installed libffado then you can adapt your 
    213 LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to 
    214  
    215 $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../src/.libs 
    216  
    217 Then you can try running the program without having to install it. 
    218  
    219 With the release version you see something like this: 
    220  
    221 wagi@cruxam:~/src/libffado/tests$ ./test-ffado discover 
    222 verbose level = 0

    292  
    293 If you don't get this, check if you have multiple host controllers, and  
    294 use the -p parameter to specify them. If you get any error messages, the  
    295 best way to help us figure out what the problem might be is to build the  
    296 debug version (scons ENABLE_DEBUG=1). You can then rerun the test 
    297 application (with -v5) and send us its output. 
    298  
     216First of all, check whether your problem is in fact a problem, and 
     217whether it is a FFADO problem. The magic tool for this is google. 
     218 
     219User support is a rather annoying occupation, especially since it sucks 
     220time from developers that are not paid for developing, let alone for doing 
     221user support. Please make sure that you have checked the following places: 
     222    http://www.ffado.org/ 
     223    http://subversion.ffado.org/ 
     224    http://www.google.com/ 
     225      (the terms "ffado-devel" "ffado-user" or "freebob-user" work great) 
     226Some might consider this a bit arrogant or "newbie-unfriendly", but personally 
     227I (Pieter Palmers) consider this a matter of politeness towards the developers. 
     228 
     229If you have tried to find a solution to your problem, but you couldn't find 
     230one or are confused, don't hesitate to ask for help. The preferred way is by 
     231signing up to the mailing list as described on http://www.ffado.org/?q=contact. 
     232 
     233Writing a bug report 
     234-------------------- 
     235 
     236Note that the more effort you put in your bug report, the more effort we 
     237will put into helping you. 
     238 
     239Make sure you have compiled a DEBUG=yes version of 
     240libffado. If not there is no way we can trace the problem. 
     241 
     242When reporting a problem, please run jackd with the --verbose option, 
     243and add the -v6 option to the firewire backend: 
     244    $ jackd --verbose [...] -d firewire -v6 [...] 
     245 
     246    ( [...] = other options ) 
     247 
     248This will generate an increadible amount of debug output that should 
     249contain what we need to track down the problem. If you have troubles 
     250saving the output, try redirecting it to a file: 
     251 
     252    $ jackd --verbose -d firewire -v6 2> ffado-jack.log 
     253 
     254this will create a ffado.log file containing the output. Use CTRL-C 
     255to exit jack if necessary. 
     256 
     257The distribution contains a tool to gather some information about your 
     258system. you can run it as follows: 
     259 
     260    $ cd support/tools 
     261    $ python ffado-diag.py > ffado-diag.log 
     262 
     263It will check your system for basic problems and gather some information 
     264regarding your hardware configuration. This will allow us to diagnose 
     265your problem faster. 
     266 
     267Once the logs have been created you can create a support ticket at 
     268http://subversion.ffado.org/newticket 
     269 
     270Be sure to include the following information: 
     271* the log file(s) (zipped/tar.gz'ed and attached) 
     272* the device you're trying to use 
     273* a description of what went wrong and how to reproduce it. You 
     274  preferrably try to figure out a sequence of steps that can reliably 
     275  reproduce the issue on your system. A one-time failure is very difficult 
     276  to diagnose and/or fix. 
     277* the distribution and its version 
     278
