Okay, wenn ich mir das jetzt manuell so hinklicke, dann funktioniert es.
Mach ich das Programm zu, oder starte entweder OSB oder Butt neu, oder - gott bewahre - das USB Interface ist kurz weg, ist alles wieder kaputt...
Ich glaub an dem Punkt war ich schon mal und hab dann auf #Windows zurück geweschselt -.-
It’s the year of our Lord 2025 … and thanks to @faheus’ excellent Nerdsniping skills I’m trying to get my old #FireWire #ieee1394 Audio Interfaces running reliably in Linux ;)
Verdict so far: MOTU amazingly works very well using in-kernel ALSA FireWire drivers. FFADO (in its pipewire-incarnation) still a catastrophe, as was 12 years ago. EchoAudio still randomly crashes machines as was the case 2014 :).

PipeWire 1.4.2 mit Stabilitätsverbesserungen und MIDI-Fixes!
Was ist PipWire!
PipeWire ist ein Multimedia-Framework, das ursprünglich für die Verarbeitung von Audio- und Video-Streams in Linux entwickelt wurde. Es zielt darauf ab, die Funktionalität von bestehenden Systemen wie PulseAudio (für Audio) und GStreamer (für Multimedia) zu vereinen und zu verbessern. PipeWire bietet eine flexible Architektur, die es ermöglicht, Audio- und Video-Streams in Echtzeit zu verarbeiten und zu verwalten.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/releases/1.4.2
Wireplumber is the session manager for @pipewire, helping to provide stability and flexibility to your Linux system. You can also do scripting with Lua!
If you're having trouble with OBS where it just won't get anything and the log says it's getting a corrupted buffer from pipewire, then check for updates in your Flatpak thing because there could be new stuff even if you just updated.
PipeWire 1.4.2 multimedia framework fixes MIDI CPU issues, improves pw-cat streaming, and resolves crashes.
