As of today I believe that you cannot run any 1394 audio device under Alsa. There are no released drivers for any of these sort of units. A while back Steve Harris indicated that there was some work underway to support these but I've heard nothing since. I might be willing to pick one up and be a beta tester if there is a real effort to make these work. Sorry for such news. I hope someone pops up and indicates I'm wrong because it would e good news for laptop users.
