Comment 4 for bug 1926641

As requested by a maintainer of FFADE, the output of the diagnose tool. This is most likely to do with device rights for the user or group.

UPDATE: When I looked at the output of the diagnose tool, I see two Firewire devices with different user/group rights. (The card in the desktop has actually three places to add a FireWire cable, not two.) When I plug in on the left connector, this user rights issue occurs. But when I plug it into the middle, the issue is gone.

So this might nog be an issue for FFADO. I have another desktop with FireWire and a DV camera. I notived also that the port I use there has influence in how I can connect to the camera. Will test this later on and add the findings here. Perhaps there is a convention or default config to offer FireWire #0 only for root and #1 also for group audio?

Kernel support:
  The new FireWire kernel stack is loaded.
  If running a kernel earlier than 2.6.37 and problems are experienced, either
  try with the old Firewire kernel stack or upgrade to a newer kernel
  (preferrably 2.6.37 or later).
