[PlanetCCRMA] Phonic Helix Board 24 on Fedora

[Jonathan Gazeley]

I did actually get my mixer working on Fedora 8 in the end - by 
compiling ffado myself and referring to the FFADO-user mailing list 
(ffado-user at lists.sourceforge.net).

The guys there were very helpful and I recommend posting there - or 
checking the archives to read my original post and its responses.

Cheers,
Jonathan
