here is the routine that is used in snd-usb-us428:
static int snd_us428_create_usbmidi( snd_card_t* card
)
{
#if defined(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER) ||
defined(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_MODULE)
static snd_usb_audio_quirk_t quirk = {
.vendor_name = "TASCAM",
.product_name = "US-428",
.ifnum = 0,
.type = QUIRK_MIDI_FIXED_ENDPOINT,
.data = & (const snd_usb_midi_endpoint_info_t) {
.epnum = 6,
.out_cables = 3,
.in_cables = 3
}
};
snd_seq_device_t *seq_device;
snd_usb_midi_t *umidi;
int err;
err = snd_seq_device_new( card, us428(
card)->chip.next_seq_device,
SNDRV_SEQ_DEV_ID_USBMIDI,
sizeof(snd_usb_midi_t), &seq_device);
if (err < 0)
return err;
us428( card)->chip.next_seq_device++;
strcpy(seq_device->name, card->shortname);
umidi = (snd_usb_midi_t
*)SNDRV_SEQ_DEVICE_ARGPTR(seq_device);
umidi->chip = &us428( card)->chip;
umidi->ifnum = 0;
umidi->quirk = &quirk;
umidi->seq_client = -1;
#endif
return 0;
}
its a copy-change of usb-audio. something wrong here ?
cannot be completely wrong: if snd-usb-midi is loaded
manually,
everything works ok.

the us-428 audio is very nonstandard:
it is necessary to know how many frames are just
recorded to be able to playback without unwanted
crackles. I found no other way to determine the exact
samplerate. furthermore there are the hardware knobs,
sliders and lights, the digital in switch....

mmh, i just checked again my tree: it is current.
I put a line
"alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-midi"
(the us-428 is my second card)
into modules.conf. is it this what you suggest?
unfortunately the autoload still does not happen.
Trying to start the Synth with:
"./startBristol -alsa -audiodev hw:1 -mididev hw:1"
snd-usb-midi is still not loaded and the error message
is:
"ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open
/dev/snd/midiC1D0 failed: No such file or directory"
Could somebody please explain, how a specific midi
module gets loaded on a user processes access of an
alsa (raw)midi device ?
