GREAT!!! It works! Just tried it with current alsa cvs and the firmware loads and alsa likes it (well, almost, I still have problems with sequencer playback from muse, I have to try rebuilding muse from scratch). I tested it with an Oxigen8 and a Midisport 2x2. Do you happen to know if the Midiman Quattro midi interface could use this method as well? Now I have to create packages for all this :-) -- Fernando
