Not my MOTU :) I've tried FFADO but thanks for the reminder anyway. The previous "firmware" MOTUS definitely work on Linux, not Ultralike Mk3 still. The latest report (very recent) is [1]<div>
<br></div><div>[1] <span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;border-collapse:collapse;line-height:17px">Update, 2 September 2010: audio streaming has been demonstrated on some of these G3 interfaces over the past few months, which means jackd can be used to get audio into and out of these interfaces under certain conditions (when testing this please make sure you're using the most recent svn snapshot available - r1882 or later). There is a report that the Ultralite Mk3 and the Ultralite hybrid (in firewire mode) are mostly working. The 828 Mk3 streams audio for most combinations of optical port mode settings (although some are yet to be tested). The Traveler Mk3 streams audio at all sample rates so long as the optical ports are turned off. Work is continuing on making the optical port support better on the G3 devices which have optical ports. ffado-mixer currently does not work with any
G3 models. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;border-collapse:collapse;line-height:17px"><b>The protocol is pretty well understood; I'm hoping to find time soon to start adding this to ffado.</b></span></div>
