[linux-audio-dev] Firewire support in Linux

    I was interested in the thread about firewire audio device support
in Linux a while back. Just the other day I noticed that Presonus is
just up the road from where I live so I thought I'd drop them a line and
ask about their two firewire interfaces and if they would consider
releasing specs to the Linux audio community to get drivers written for
them. I received two responses, both of which seem promising:

and:

    Just thought I'd throw this out on the list to see what feedback I
get. I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes. If you know someone who
would be interested in working on drivers please pass this to them.
Contact information for Presonus is available on their web page.
