jackd crashes using freebob and firewire devices

[prismatic7]

Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
uname: 2.6.24-16-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Apr 10 15:15:40 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I have recently purchased a Focusrite Saffire LE firewire audio interface, which is supposedly supported by both freeBoB and FFADO, however I am unable to use the device. jackd either crashes after the timeout period, or jack-aware applications are not able to connect (see log below)

The system is a Dell XPS M1210. sudo lspci -v reports the firewire chipset as:

03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
 Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01d7
 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
 Memory at ecbfd800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
 Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

This is the output of qjackctl's verbose messages:

Double-submitted. Sorry. Bug #231085 is a duplicate of this bug.

[prismatic7 (chris-wenn-deactivatedaccount)]

Please delete this bug. Ricoh chipset is known not to work with audio on all platforms.

I'm still having issues with the Saffire LE, not that anyone has ever paid attention to this bug. Cheers, guys.

The key here is "cannot complete execution of the processing graph" this has been happening to me since I upgraded to Hardy everything is fine when using alsa but freebob is very unstable and seems to be dependant on CPU processing amount, if you look at the forums this has been happening to quite a few people with FP10's lately, and M-Audio 1010lt's. sometime the connection stays but mostly dies after some time or quite immediately.

This is a bug in the ubuntu package, not ubuntustudio specific.

the ubuntu package is the ubuntustudio package, one and same.
