+The FFADO project aims to provide a free driver implemenation for
+FireWire (IEEE1394, iLink) based (semi-) professional audio
+interfaces. The focus of the project are on audio/music production
+rather than consumer audio. This means that, although we intend to
+supported all features at some point, consumer features are
+considered less important. The most obvious example of a consumer
+feature is AC3/DTS passthrough support, which is unsupported at
+the moment.
+
+libffado requires libiec61883, libxml++ and scons, also available
+from SlackBuilds.org
