Same except latency.  Here ya go:
# lspci -v | grep -i firewire -A12
03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
	Subsystem: Dell XPS M1210
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 19
	Memory at ef9fd800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
	Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: ohci1394
	Kernel modules: ohci1394

I really have no answer why it's worked out for me so well.  Maybe the latency setting 
is a factor?  A long time ago I tried adjusting that in 8.04 to get it to work but it 
made no difference.  The FFADO wiki has said it doesn't work since Ubuntu Studio 8.04. 
  It didn't work in 8.04 for me so I tried 8.10 and it worked great.  9.04 works too. 
  However, I prefer Fedora/CCRMA now. YMMV.
