1 - When I use the "midi in" of my PHASE 26
USB, things are working
properly when the midi data are expected from this device (/dev/midi1).
But the second device connected via the UM2 is not detected by ecasound or
gmidimon (I have tried /dev/midi* and /dev/snd/midi*).
Neither ecasound nor gmidimon support MIDI with ALSA correctly.
As a workaround, load the snd-virmidi driver (which make another
/dev/midi* available) and connect its sequencer port to the UM2's
second port.
Surprisingly, aseqdump is detecting both devices.
This one uses the ALSA API correctly.
2 - When both device are connected to the UM2 all the
apps mentioned above
are not detecting in a reproducible way : sometimes it detect one or the
other, sometime none, sometimes all.
When an application tries to open the internal ALSA device node
(/dev/snd/midiCxDx), it will get the first free subdevice, i.e., the
first port that isn't already in use.
