56 | | Note: the support for these devices is based on a significant reverse |
---|
57 | | engineering effort. This means that the developers had no support from the |
---|
58 | | device vendor, and this of course limits the extent to which problems can |
---|
59 | | be solved. You have been warned. Please do not buy devices for which support |
---|
60 | | is based upon reverse engineering, nor from vendors that are Linux-hostile |
---|
61 | | (e.g. MOTU). Value the support that some vendors provide and buy their |
---|
62 | | stuff. Check ffado.org for details. It can't be said enough: currently it is |
---|
63 | | extremely unwise to buy a MOTU device if you intend to use Linux. |

---|
65 | | The driver is written to provide generic support for all devices it might be |
---|
66 | | able to handle. This means that most devices based on the BridgeCo BeBoB or |
---|
67 | | the ECHO FireWorks platform will work, at least to a certain extent. |

| 71 | 2) "Audio only" means that FFADO can be used to stream audio to and from the |
---|
| 72 | device, control sample rate and clock source. Control of the mixer |
---|
| 73 | and DSP functions is not presently supported. It is planned but no ETA |
---|
| 74 | is available at this stage. |
