It looks like you might be in better luck than Geoff. Just create a
temporary V4L capture card using the analog side of the HD-5500 card*
and connect it to the Firewire Video Source, save the connection by
hitting "Finish" then enter the Input Connection again and hit the
"Fetch..." button, this should load up your channels. Now delete this
V4L card and connect the Firewire input to the Firewire Video Source.
* If you do not normally load the analog drivers for the card, you
will have to do it temporarily for this workaround to work.
