This list is for this purpose. Thanks for your report and I apologize your inconvenience.

The messages in syslog means that your Focusrite Saffire LE
transfers isochronous packet to your system with discontinued
sequence number.

But subtraction of the counter (e.g. 0x20 and 0x60 in the
last line) always results 0x40. The former(=0x20) is expected
but the isochronous packet includes the latter(=0x60). I think
it's any possible bug of ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 packet streaming
engine and check it. I'll install Eoan kernel and test my devices.
(but I don't have Saffire and Saffire LE...) I'd like you to wait
for my test report.


Thanks
