THANK YOU!!! It works! I feel stupid - really the only reason I wasn't getting sound was I had the wrong input selected on my Firewire Solo box.. I was sure FreeBob wasn't working, because aplay -l didn't work, and it hadn't occurred to me to try starting Ardour, but as soon as I did I saw that it was showing the inputs and outputs from my Firewire Solo. I can't tell you how great it feels to get audio, after a week of struggling with this!!
