Great, thanks for that...

Thanks for the patch, unfortunately I don't have time until this week-
end to test the linux kernel version of the patch..

I tested this DKMS version, it's easier for me and with less impacts.

What I can say is that my unit is running now normaly on my computer, 
with 

$ uname -a
Linux deiphobe 5.3.0-20-lowlatency #21-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 23
17:03:51 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

kernel, on Ubuntu 19.10

Running the simple DKMS install version on the README of the snd-
firewire-improve, with a recent git clone

Tell me if you need more information so far.

I continue on testing things, but for the moment, 0 problems (I also
have a audio unit on USB (GTX headset on USB) for audioconferencing
stuff (Zoom) and so far, no problem at all, I can use both.

Same with the NVDIA output over HDMI, on my screen (with a crappy small
stereo inside the screen). 

Very cool to have the ADAM F7 monitors sound back!!!!!!


**thanks**** !!
