[linux-audio-dev] Please test my MidiSport firmware loader

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 :-)
