I think their point is another one: There are few companies that
used firewire with all it's potential. RME is thinking they are
the only ones, that uses all the potential in firewire. If the make
a ALSA solution, their competitors have the same basis (that they
think of is the best one) ...
And since firewire is a very generic protocol they may be right :-((
Is this true, that a firewire driver for one card can be used with
equal power for another card?
