A Firewire card is not able to play audio on its own. You have to
connect a Firewire soundcard or equivalent to it.

The purpose of ffado-diag is to create a bunch of useful information for
diagnosing someone's setup.

Posting its output (_after_ connecting a Firewire audio device) would
have been a lot more helpful than your information-scrubbed summary.
