no, it is not halted, a new alpha version is coming very soon.
btw, here is the list of supported device: http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Supported_Devices
I'm using it for a terratec phase 24FW on breezy (i686) and I have some Xruns problem, so i'm passing to dapper (much easier to compile a realtime kernel on dapper, ubuntustudio.com has an easy-to-use patch)
at the moment freebob is not easy to compile (it needs the CVS & patched version of libie61883 libraw1394 libavc1394), but future versions should be easier. here is what I did to make it work: http://www.davidemorelli.it/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=other:freebob_on_ubuntu

Progress seems to be slow (halted?), but some setups are working.

ps- As far as the debian/ubuntu divide goes, the relationship (as far as the user's concerned) is a bit like this: ubuntu has slightly more modern packages, though a slightly narrower selection, and is more intrusive. Not that that's a bad thing for new users, but it will do more for you and run more things in the background to automatically manage hardware etc. Also I think it might by default run esd, which could interfere with jack and real audio apps.
