The "start Jack twice" problem has been fixed for several months and if you build ffado SVN 2260 or greater you will also get the improved version of the mixer
(see: http://www.premiumorange.com/la-page-web-of-phil). I've never had issues having to restart Jack every 30 minutes with the Saffire 24.
But, the point is taken that building the latest SVN of ffado is something many audio users would care or know how to do
(though if you run AVLinux or kxstudio this has already be done for you).
Well this has been said before but the main problem with hardware on linux is not that "linux does not support it" the problem
is that manufacturers do not support linux. Probably the best solution to that is to get more linux users, which is slowly happening.
