The main problem left at this point are latency related, but it's not 
very clear where exactly they are located: in our code or in the 
linux1394 code. If you use buffer sizes that are big enough it will work 
more than good enough.

Maybe the biggest flaw is that there is no ALSA support yet, only jackd.

I also experienced some problems with the MIDI support the second midi 
port, so I would say that's still experimental.

I won't be able to tackle any of these problems before the end of february.

I didn't see a lot of reactions on the list regarding our latest 
alpha-0.2.0 release, so I guess there are few problems. I didn't have 
the time to actually use the drivers yet, so maybe the other people here 
can share their thoughts...

Greets,

Pieter
