For ease of further development, I merged a part of this big patch series, the ones doing merely code shuffling or some obvious things. Namely, the dice changes below:
Thank you. But
ALSA: dice: remove experimental state
I think this is hasty for for-next branch.
With the applied patches, the Dice driver cannot still handle a device which I own. Furthermore, I've got some reports from reticent testers that they use the driver without below codes:

I guess most of Dice devices support both direction of streams, due to handling timestamp. In detail, please read my report:
3.4 Duplex streams with timestamp synchronization https://github.com/takaswie/alsa-firewire-report
Can I request you to remove the patch from linux-next branch? This patch should be applied after 27th patch, at least:
[alsa-devel] [PATCH 27/30] ALSA: oxfw: Add support AMDTP in-stream http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-November/084816.ht...
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is already pretty useless, distro kernels enable this in anyway. I see no big reason to keep it at all. The kernel developers already discussed to drop this kconfig.
