Hi, i can't start JACK with buffersizes below 512 frames when using the ALSA firewire stack. This is the output of JACK: -------- no message buffer overruns no message buffer overruns no message buffer overruns jackdmp 1.9.11 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.

The same applies when using the FFADO backend. Also using JACK with the onboard audio works with i.e. -p128. I think it's not JACK related and wondered if this is a known limitation of the ALSA firewire part involved and if and how it could be changed.
