I install Eoan (linux-image-5.3.0-19-generic:5.3.0-19.20) and test ALSA
bebob driver with my test devices:
 - Yamaha GO46 (DM1000 ASIC)
 - M-Audio FireWire Solo (DM1000 ASIC)
 - Behringer FCA610 (DM1500 ASIC)
 - Focusrite SaffirePro 26 I/O (DM1000E)

However I don't find similar discontinuities. This means that you
encounter model-specific issue as regression I didn't realized.

For my information, would you please get output from nodes on procfs?
 * /proc/asound/cardX/firewire/clock
 * /proc/asound/cardX/firewire/firmware
 * /proc/asound/cardX/firewire/formation

Additionally, please install 'gir1.2-hinawa-2.0' package, then clone
below remote repository:
 * https://github.com/takaswie/hinawa-utils

This repository includes two scripts to get information from the device:
 * hinawa-bebob-parser
 * hinawa-bebob-connection-cui

When your device is detected as sound card '2' and your device is also
detected as '/dev/fw1', execute below:

$ ./hinawa-bebob-connection-cui 2 graph-connections
$ ./hinawa-bebob-parser 1 2

Once your device is detected and ALSA bebob driver bound to it,
pulseaudio detects it and start PCM substream to get capabilities
of the device.

In your case, the PCM substream is corrupted by the discontinuity.
Then pulseaudio give up to use the device. As a result, sound menu
drops entry of the device.

I guess that the color of LED corresponds to the packet streaming.

Practically these logs can be ignored. (I work to suppress the above
lines in development period for Linux kernel v5.5.)

IEEE 1394 bus 'bus-reset' state. Just before/after the bus-reset, any
functionality easily fails. It's better to plug-in the device enough
after bootup.
