hi patrick
I have a terratec phase X24 and the only problem I have is because of the firewire controller on my laptop (IBM X32) which seems to be crap (a Ricoh). So it is not the soundcard. I was told on the freebob list that I should buy a PCMCIA firewire card to solve this. I disabled cron and anacron (one of them was starting updatedb causing big trouble with jack) and I stop the wifi card while I use the soundcard. I also compiled freebob and jack from latest stable source. After all this it works better, jack still quits but takes couple of hours to happen.
Regarding PD I get clicks when switching desktops, I use Fluxbox on Ubuntu Studio. This does not happen with other software like Supercollider. I guess I need to play around with PD startup flags. I havent tested latency with test patch. Thanks for pointing into the ath_pci issue, I will test to see if this makes any difference.

- Has anyone a working firewire (ieee1394) interface with their laptop
i have a macbook pro with a presonus firepod (firewire) running linux with freebob (ffado is not ready). the latency testing patch in pd gives me around 12 ms, but jdelay is 7 ms. the only annoying thing with my setup is that i have to rmmod ath_pci to avoid glitches (pretty weird).
i am waiting for the first release of ffado. maybe it will fix this problem. pat
