Öh om du läser vad de skriver så är det ganska uppenbart att deras lösning inte följer FW standarden till 100% utan är framtagen av RME själva vilket kan leda till problem...
""RME developed the FireWire audio core completely on their own"
De skryter också om att deras lösning är lätt att anpassa och buggfixa, vilket tydligen inte verkar stämma med verkligheten...
"RME is the only manufacturer not to use a third party FireWire audio technology. All other manufacturers use dedicated all-in-one FireWire audio chips. As a result, their access to bugfixes and improvements is more than limited."
"Note that all mentioned manufacturers simply use a physical connection chip from TI, not made by themselve. So if at all you could accuse TI to be out of spec. But then you have to acknowledge that T was first, has been known to be very compatible, and Agere should have made sure their chip works with the most wide spread one on the market.
