This is from a snd_fw_transaction call, either the ping or the address
setting.

Please check if these commands work:

	firewire-request /dev/fwX read c007dedadada 4
	firewire-request /dev/fwX write c007dedadada f100123456789abc

In theory, you should be able to write MIDI commands by prefixing them
with 00, like this for a note-on:
	firewire-request /dev/fwX write c007dedadada 00912345

FFADO had only the 1m's ID, so the driver does not yet know about the 1d.
