Yeah, I don't know how all that works. The main thing is that the 
raw1394 module can be loaded manually and that I know all the steps to 
getting the Pro 10 working and running. I'm in the process of learning 
all the parts of the ffado-mixer that relate to the Pro 10 and then I 
will add that into the "step by step" guide.

Thanks,
