You might not need ffado and hence, the bug might not be present. See [1] for reference. >From my own experience, I can recommend DICE-based devices (like TC Eletronic stuff and some Focusrite devices). I own a StudioKonnekt 48 and a Konnekt 24D. Both work pretty nicely without compiling or configuring anything.
