[campcaster-support] CampCaster with Firewire board

    Hello:
    I have been trying to help our local student radio station use FLOSS
    solutions, one being CampCaster, but I am loosing the battle.

    We have a mixer-board with firewire for audio transport (
    http://www.tascam.com/products/fw-1082.html), but it appears I need newer
    version of Ubuntu than Hardy to get the more recent FFADO drivers, but
    CampCaster does not work on the latter versions. I have looked for PPA and
    backport repos and have tried to compile FFADO for Hardy with no success.

    1. Can CampCaster run in a Hardy CHROOT on a 9.10 based workstation?
    2. Should I switch to Debian and use apt pinning?
    3. Has anyone had similar experiences?

    Thank you and regards,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,Sorry to hear about your troubles with FFADO. If it's any help, Campcaster does run under Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty - maybe the FFADO drivers will work with that?We're trying to get the issues with Karmic solved, but the latest word is that the problem is deeper than we thought - originally it looked like it was going to be a trivial fix, but it's going to require more work.Hope this helps,doug=============================================Media Development Loan Fund=============================================Douglas ArellanesConsultantCenter for Advanced Media--Prague (CAMP)Salvatorska 10, 110 00 Praha 1Czech RepublicTel: + 420 224 312 832, Fax: +420 224 315 419Mobile: +420 724 073 364Skype and Yahoo IM: dougiegyrohttp://www.campware.orghttp://www.mdlf.org=============================================http://www.mdlf.org=============================================This message is intended for the use of the individual(s) or entity(ies) to which it is addressed only.  It may contain information that is privileged and confidential.  If you have received this message in error, you are hereby notified that any dissemination or distribution of this communication to other than intended recipient is prohibited.-----campcaster-support-bounces@lists.campware.org wrote: -----To: campcaster-support@lists.campware.orgFrom: "Tom D.
