In general quite good. That is, because in general USB audio and midi
has to follow a know specification, to that it is relatively easy to
use on driver for several devices. But that is so only in theory in
real lifethe manufactureres don't always follow the specs fully.

I have the M-Audio Oxygen and it works. Also Edirol keyboards
reportedly work fine.

No, I don't think so.
