You got it correctly. Here, let's back to FFADO log:

It's my mistake to interpret the target subunit to which the command
fails. It's 'Audio' subunit, not 'Music' subunit...

> plug type (1,1,0,0,1)
1 = node ID (=0xFF01)
1 = subunit type (=audio)
0 = subunit ID
0 = direction (=input)
1 = plug ID (=0x01)

The EXTENDED PLUG INFO command is one of specific command for BeBoB
solution and its specification is closed. In your case, 4 plugs are
detected as destination plug and 1 plug as source plug in Audio
subunit by AV/C PLUG INFO command for Audio subunit, thus below
commands are expected to return valid information as long as
implemented correctly:

(4 destination plugs = 4 input plugs)
(AV/C EXTENDED PLUG INFO command for input plugs of Music subunit)
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000100ffff00
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000101ffff00 (<-)
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000102ffff00
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000103ffff00
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000104ffff00 (should fail)

(1 source plug = 1 output plug)
(AV/C EXTENDED PLUG INFO command for output plugs of Music subunit)
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0010100ffff00
$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0010101ffff00 (should fail)

However, some vendors seem to implement the above with less care of
compatibility, as long as I know. In your case, below command might
fail:

$ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x016002c0000101ffff00 (<-)

I'd like you to execute the above commands and share their responses.
