Hi, Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 I/O is one of my test devices, and I know that the unit has an unique quirk, inconvenient to users including me. Later, I'll write about it.

I've never used the 'freewheel' mode and I don't know exactly what it effects. However, as long as seeing jackd2 source code, it doesn't affect the way to use ALSA interfaces. There're no practical condition statements related to this parameter. Thus, regardless of enabling clients' 'freewheel' mode or not, jackd uses ALSA by the same way. This is also the same libffado backend. In short, it does not affect the way to use backend modules for devices. I guess that the mode just has an effect to internal data processing of jackd. Well, in my opinion, it's inconvenient to use this unit due to its quirk, which I reported in this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/ffado/mailman/message/35076716/ I recommend you to purchage another unit, more convenient to your work.
