This series of patch is to update patches which I've posted below.

[RFC v2][PATCH 00/38] Enhancement for support of some firewire devices 
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2013-December/070424.html 

[RFC][PATCH v2 00/13] speakers: Add support for capture/playback of PCM/MIDI
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-January/071071.html

This series may be last RFC.

For maintainers:
I have 4 items.

1.expected impacts to user-land
Refer to my last message.

2. Address allocation for Fireworks drivers
Related to this suggestion:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-January/071120.html

The alternative way is to implement:
 1.'AV/C SIGNAL FORMAT' commanids defined in 'AV/C Digital Interface Command Set General Specification Version 4.2 (Sep 2004, 1394TA)' - 'snd-firewire-lib' has these commands
 2.'AV/C DESCRIPTOR' mechanism defined in 'Enhancements to the AV/C General Specification 3.0 Version 1.1 (Oct 2000, 1394TA)'
 3.'AV/C SIGNAL SOURCE' commands defined in 'AV/C Music Subunit 1.0' - I don't have this specification.

They cost higher than actual effects. Especially, 2 is a bit complicated and need much codes.

Actually FFADO has all of them. And snd-fireworks gives hwdep interface for application to command/response.
There is currently several ways in user-land so I think it good to keep the address non-relocatable yet.

3.Support for devices with fatal quirk
M-Audio 'Firewire 1814' and 'ProjectMix I/O' has BeBoB firmware which is heavily customized. See last patch.
They have a time not to respond transaction. As long as I experienced, the time may be 300 msec per 1 sec.

As a result, snd-bebob often fail to handle them. Especially, they can ignore transactions for
resource management of connection/channel/bandwidth. This is a fatal for host system.

But there is no user-land driver for these devices and I received some requests from FFADO users to support them.

I hope to get your opinion about this support.

4.Rest of my work
I've finished almost work for them. If I receive no big problems from developers and testers, I have a plan to post merge-request.


Updates since previous patches:
snd-firewire-lib:
 - remove wrong line to regain 'stream_running' member to 'struct fwspk'
 - allow drivers to indicate timeout value
 - remove 'amdtp_stream_midi_running'
snd-bebob:
 - add reference counter for MIDI substreams
 - improve 'mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock()' for streaming
 - remove 'device' member fron 'struct snd_bebob'
 - update device entry
snd-fireworks:
 - add reference counter for MIDI substreams
 - improve 'mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock()' for streaming
 - remove 'device' member from 'struct snd_fireworks'
snd-firewire-speakers:
 - rename to snd-oxfw and obsolete
snd-oxfw:
 - add reference counter for MIDI substreams
 - improve 'mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock()' for streaming
 - fix lock mechanism of streaming by hwdep
 - fix wrong formation for Lacie FWSpeaker and Griffin Firewave
 - remove 'fw_unit_get()/fw_unit_put()' because helper function do this
