No bridgeco in there, but DICE (if you ever see JetPLL advertised you 
know it's DICE, since JetPLL is a registered trademark of TC applied). 
There might be a chance that it's going to work in the near future, 
depending on what the TC applied guys can arrange...

On the short run the most likely extensions to the FFADO support list 
are the T.C. electronic Konnekt devices and the Presonus FireStudio 
interfaces.

As for the Konnekts, I'm pretty confident support is going to happen. 
I've established very good (real life) contacts with the people within 
TC that are responsible for those, and they are convinced. I've been 
working hard to persuade them to also let me implement support for the 
DSP effects inside these devices, and that seems to be successful, 
although I don't promise anything. It would surely be nice to have those 
effects supported...

I've also talked (not emailed) to people at Presonus, and they seem very 
interested in Linux support, since a lot of their users seem to ask for 
it. I've established some new contacts there and we'll see how that 
works out.

In any case, don't expect any of these to be supported within the next 6 
months (except maybe if some extra devs join us). FFADO is nearing beta 
now, and we want to push out the current version first, before adding 
more devices. If only I had some more time...

Greets,

Pieter
