Firewire devices are still in use by many in the Linux audio community - including me - so I've fixed the jack2 ebuild up a little to support Firewire.

I have tested this on one of my own Gentoo audio machines with a Mackie Onyx 1640 and it shows up as expected in Qjackctl using the ebuild I attached.

Ignore this file, see next one, had to change use flag.

Thank you for your ebuild.

please fix https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/5091 instead...

[Comment 6 Allan Klinbail 2018-01-17 13:22:06 UTC]

current version still has no firewire available .. flag doesn't make any difference and doesn't show in emerge -pv jack2 .. 
Please fix

As an alternative, you can use the jack2 ebuild from the Gentoo Studio overlay, which uses the ieee1394 use flag. git src: https://github.com/audiodef/gentoostudio

Just updated the overlay to include 1.9.12 with firewire support: https://github.com/audiodef/gentoostudio/tree/master/media-sound/jack2

Apparently fixed in tree by commit d431cc2483474e83efb49b660ca463791939dd82.
