[QLab] M-Audio 410 Problems

[Christopher Kulesa]

We just got off the phone with M-Audio.  We have been told by their  
technicians that their engineers did not write drivers to support  
more than one sound-card.

QLab will launch.  However, selecting the menu bar and pressing  
"command-," will both crash QLab.

We are daisy chaining them via FireWire.  Each FireWire 410 has two  
firewire ports.

On the up-side, however, when the FireWire 410's are connected but  
not ON (connected to AC power and firewire to the Mac Mini, power  
button not depressed) and we start QLab first then power ON the  
FireWire 410's, QLab will not crash when we select the menu bar or  
press command-, .  We have not done any extensive tests.  We have  
only found that QLab does not crash.

We are pretty sure that the problem stems from the drives of the  
FireWire 410's.

Thanks
