As long as the idea of 'freewheel' has an accompaniment of stopping/starting PCM substreams, it's quite unsuitable to the unit which has a quirk to disappearance. Well, this is a good opportunity to see Robin. Let me report an issue of jackdbus and libffado? An user saw SIGSEGV when using jackdbus on Ubuntu 14.04, read: Re: [FFADO-user] [I'm a user and need support] Mackie Onyx 820i and module snd_dice https://sourceforge.net/p/ffado/mailman/message/35041680/ When one of libffado API, ffado_streaming_prepare returns error, the UNIX signal seems to be emit to jackdbus process. https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/blob/ff1ed2c4524095055140370c1008a2d9cccc5645/linux/firewire/JackFFADODriver.cpp#L641 I don't know exactly the reason, but you may some ideas to solve the issue.
