Hi Tahashi,

Just FYI, I think a lot of maintainers have been off or doing less work
over December/the holidays; I also have some things that didn't make it
into subsystem trees for 5.17. So I'm guessing this patchset will have
to wait for 5.18. AIUI most maintainers don't merge things into
subsystem trees after the upstream merge window opens.

I've also been meaning to test your Firewire improvements again (and
also with Pipewire), but I've been pretty busy lately... hopefully I'll
get a chance soon. When I tried the first round of improvements that got
merged (the sequence replay stuff) I noticed it fixed the glitchy audio
problem, but the minimum stable period size with JACK+ALSA was still
higher than with JACK+FFADO, and Pipewire also had even higher
latencies. So I'm back using FFADO but I hope I can switch to ALSA soon :)
