Hi,

My former patchset adds support for Fireface 800 with MIDI functionality
only[1]. This patchset updates driver with packet streaming
functionality. As a result, both of PCM frames/MIDI messages are
available.

This patchset is based on my former patch to fix a bug to switch
frame fetching mode:

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: fireface: fix for state to fetch PCM frames
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2018-December/143150.html

Unfortunately, my initial commit of ALSA fireface driver in v4.12 kernel
includes bugs to handle tx isochronous packets. When testing this
patchset, please apply below patchset in advance:

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/3] ALSA: firewire-lib: fixes for processing packets without CIP header
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2018-December/143146.html

For testers, a remote branch including overall patches is available in
my remote repository in github.com[2]. They can be backport to Linux
kernel v4.17 or later.

I note that this driver can generate hissing noise long-periodically as I
reported for Fireface 400[3]. The cause is not cleared yet.
