And I have ffado together with nvidia graphics (without sharing interrupts) working. So its not a software issue. Now what? Believe me: Sharing interrupts is still a bad problem in this century. At least when you have to interrupt-heavy devices like firewire and graphics share the IRQ. And its not that re-assuring that the other operating system works: There you have a special driver that works around the hardware quirks. And if you look at your sound-devices documentation, they will tell you a long list of probably-not-working controllers and only a small list of working ones. > *A side-note: There is a reason the ffado-README contains instructions what > to > report in case of errors.

What it says, is that ffado (the bit of software you use to make jackd talk firewire) has an extensive README-file which explains what to do in case you need help or want to report a bug. Because most people (you too!) miss to get us all the information we devs need. And we feel that our spare-time is better spent hacking and fixing then telling people the same things over and over again. Thats why you really should read the README-files of apps/libraries. Have fun, Arnold PS: Your style of citations is broken and a strange mix of TOFU and citations...
