| 3 | ''DBUS (or Desktop bus) is a message bus system. It provides facilities to launch applications on demand when their services are needed, for instance when a new piece of hotpluggable hardware has been added to the system. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus.'' |

| 5 | Before you can use !FireWire audio devices with FFADO, the ffado-dbus-server must be running: |
---|
| 6 | {{{ |
---|
| 7 | $ ffado-dbus-server & |
---|
| 8 | }}} |
---|
| 9 | (The "&" tells the shell to put the program in the background, so that you can re-use the shell to run other applications.) |
---|
| 10 | This command should be sufficient in the standard case. |
---|
| 11 | |
---|
| 12 | If you have a more complicated setup with multiple !FireWire controllers or need debugging output, check out the advanced options: |
