Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This package provides the libffado shared library that provides a unified programming interface to configure and use all supported devices. Currently, this library is used by the 'firewire' backends of the JACK Audio Connection Kit sound server. This backend provides audio and MIDI support, and is available in jackd. Access to the device internal configuration (e.g. internal mixer) is exposed using the ffado-dbus-server daemon. This daemon exposes the configurable parameters of all detected devices through DBUS. The ffadomixer application in support/mixer presents a GUI to control these parameters (only for officially supported devices).
