Hi,
First, I have no hostility to you.
Since I extended snd-dice in the late of 2014, I have been exposed to the similar insistences many times, in public or private, from users who own Dice-based models. Their insistences tends to include unreasonbable judgements about something related, ignorance of developers' intension and the state of development for ALSA firewire stack. So I feel to have a waste of time to receive such intensions, because they're not productive at all.

Well, you still repeat the same insistences again, after our discussion. It means that I fail to refresh your knowledge about PCM frame handling in this operating systems. That's a pretty sad to me.
One of my motivation to work for ALSA firewire stack is to use sound and music units on IEEE 1394 bus for the purpose as you described, via ALSA kernel/userspace interface, according to ways reasonable to many system requirements.
The shape of ALSA firewire stack represents the requrements from design of actual operating system, actual sound subsystem in Linux, actual audio and music units on IEEE 1394 bus, actual packet streaming protocol and actual quirks of the units. If you need my technical explaination about them, I'm willing to describe them. You won't accept it even if I did, because I've already introduced a part of them and you won't refresh your brain.
This is the end of such an unproductive discussion, sorry.
