anyone else experiencing any?

i just made the upgrade from leopard to snow leopard, and while everything else seems fine, i've been getting strange problems with my saffire pro 40... the most annoying one is that suddently it stops outputting signal to my monitors. the sound just disappears every once in a while and it doesn't seem to be caused by anything i'm doing. the FW led in the saffire pro is lit during this time so it's probably not a connectivity issue, plus the mixcontrol software looks like everything is fine. i just lose sound.

i can get it back by fiddling with some settings in mixcontrol but fuck me this is annoying. tried updating the drivers and nothing changed. thought since lion has been out some time, i could make the switch to the operating system that was released before lion but no.
 
The same thing happens to me on Windows 7 64-bit, so it must be related to the device itself or the generic parts of the driver. Usually it happens when I have it playing for a long time (> 12 hours straight).
