I attempted to get the following two OXFW970 based devices working without success:
- LaCie FireWire Speakers (stereo output device)
- Griffin FireWave (stereo or 5.1 output device; 5.1 might possibly involve vendor specific AV/C commands)
These are consumer-grade devices. LaCie FireWire speakers have a terrible sound quality (tried on Mac OS X), and Griffin FireWave is no longer being produced. The only benefit of getting them working would be that I would have dummy devices in addition to my BeBoB based device, to test a multi-device setup in kernel driver maintenance. (I guess I better get another fully supported device for that purpose.)
I am opening a single ticket for both devices because they are both based on the same chip and the failure mode of ffado is the same.
I added the following two sections to /usr/local/share/libffado/configuration:
{
vendorid = 0x00001292;
modelid = 0x000f970;
vendorname = "Griffin";
modelname = "FireWave";
driver = 4;
},
{
vendorid = 0x0000d04b;
modelid = 0x0000f970;
vendorname = "LaCie";
modelname = "FireWire Speakers";
driver = 4;
},
I also tried driver = 3 and got a different failure then (no Music subunit detected, I think).
I'll attach verbose logs from jack 0.118.0 + ffado trunk r1846, libraw1394 2.0.5, firewire-core/-ohci on kernel 2.6.34.
