The new FireWire kernel stack is loaded.
This is still kind of experimental. If you encounter problems, please also check
with the old stack.

I'm completely lost!

And if I write:

I also added my username to the audio group + other commands:

This is basically the exact issue I am having, but on Ubuntu 12.10 and with a Focusrite Saffire. The only difference is that when I do ffado-test Discover, it tells me I have the wrong libffado library installed.

Any updates on this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think it is very close to being working, but perhaps there is an issue with the libffado versions 2.1.9999 and 2.999.0
