I don't know anything about Firewire, and can't seem to get through to
the specs, but a look at the code tells me that the only format that
receive routine knows is CIP_FMT_DVCR (which happens to be zero).=20=20

You'll need someone who can figure out what the format you're getting
means, and how to handle it.  The recent comitters to the fwcontrol
utility would be a good place to start.
