10.10 & FFADO dbus server not starting

[Arto Jääskeläinen]

Upgraded from Ubuntu Studio 10.04 where ffado and ffado-mixer working ok. Connected FireWire hardware is Echo AudioFire 12 module which is supported device. Neither success with "jack" interface. Results are shown below (sorry, a long list):

[xomix (txomix)]

Same here. Though, as root (sudo) the ffado-dbus-server starts (and the mixer), and as a non privileged user ffado-test ListDevices successfully lists the Echo Audiofire12.

I compiled a vanilla kernel with ingo molnar rt patch, not sure if that affects (2.6.33.7).

8-year-old bug, not sure if this is even relevant anymore, either way, misdirected bug.
