In early stage of firmware SDK, DICE seems to lose its backward compatibility due to some registers on global address section. I found this with Alesis Multimix 12 FireWire with ancient firmware (approx. shipped version). According to retrieved log from the unit, global section has 96 byte space. On the other hand, current version of ALSA dice driver assumes that all of supported unit has at least 100 byte space. $ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 read 0xffffe0000000 28 result: 000: 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 22 00 00 00 8a result: 010: 00 00 00 ac 00 00 01 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 result: 020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 This commit adds support for the ancient firmware. Check of global section is loosened to accept the smaller space. The lack of information is already compensated by hard-coded parameters. I experienced that the latest version of Windows driver for this model can't handle this unit, too. This means that TCAT releases firmware SDK without backward compatibility for the ancient firmware. Below list is a early history of driver/firmware package released by Alesis. I investigated on wayback machine on Internet Archive: * Unknown: PAL v1.0.41.2, firmware v1.0.3 * Mar 2006: PAL v1.54.0, firmware v1.0.4 * Dec 2006: PAL v2.0.0.2, firmware v2.0 * Jun 2007: PAL v3.0.41.5, firmware v2.0 * Jul 2007: PAL v3.0.56.2. firmware v2.0 * Jan 2008: PAL v3.0.81.1080, firmware v2.0 If I can assume that firmware version is the same as DICE version, DICE version for the issued firmware may be v1.0.3. According to code base of userspace driver project (FFADO), I can read DICE v1.0.4 supports global space larger than 100 byte. I guess the smaller space of global section is a feature of DICE v1.0.3.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
