Generic mixer dice (eap) based audio interfaces?

    Hi

      
      I'm successfully using the snd-firewire-improve alsa modules
      (which will be default in kernel version 3.19 - I have used dkms
      to install under kernel version 3.18).

      
      The streaming from / to the Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 audio
      interface is perfect without any XRUNs - compliments to Takashi Sakamoto for a
      cool piece of programming.. 

      
      What is missing is a generic mixer for dice (eap) based audio
      interfaces in alsa-tools.

      
      I would welcome a positive answer as to whether the alsa-project
      are considering such an application or know of another method
      (other than ffado) to configure dice based audio interfaces.

      
      I should mention here that I have tried unsuccessfully over the
      last 5 weeks to get the ffado library to work:

    
      The ffado driver fails to synchronise with jack..
      The ffado mixer app switches the input but not the output
          and monitoring sections of the Saffire PRO 24
      The channel numbering in the ffado mixer inputs is
          crossed 1+2 >> 3+4 and vice versa.
    
    I am not a programmer and cannot judge the quality of the
      programming of the ffado code but it is buggy. The standard answer
      from the ffado-team is that it's probably the firewire host
      controller, which is definitely not the case as the perfectly
      working snd-firewire, snd-dice modules prove.

      
      Any tips and advice would be welcome.

      
      Cheers, Simon
