yes. i use the rme multiface carbus with my laptop and it works
great! recent alsa updates (v 1.0.5..?) have done great things for
this combo. before i was using it with its pci card in a desktop
version. the rme multiface + cardbus was ~ $850 when i bought it a
couple years ago. might be cheaper now.
running planet-ccrma, by the way, in both of these. still testing
gentoo ppc on my apple laptop.

i believe every firewire audio vendor has a different way of parsing
the data packets, so developers would need every vendor's specs...
and most don't release them.
