dear list,
a little message to say that i just got freebob (driver for firewire sound cards on linux) to work with an edirol FA66, jack and puredata, yesterday on a recent toshiba laptop. it feels quite good indeed. i had to compile libs by hand though, following instructions here: http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/Compiling_from_SVN_HOWTO#Downloadin... as distro, i used dapper (it is still beta but seems to work already quite nicely and has a preemptive flag in its kernel by default) - the only annoying thing is that for the time being i have to launch jackd/freebob in sudo mode to get realtime performances available...
best regards, vincent
