I have the same issue with my UA25 on a Raspberry Pi. With advanced mode
enabled the UA25 simply doesn't work well on the RPi. JACK does start
but a lot of xruns are generated. My guess is that this is probably due
to the poor USB implementation of the RPi. The workaround I use is
adding an extra USB-MIDI cable.

I thought that maybe someone could find some workaround. Well, by now I'll stick with that "to be or not to be UA25 in/out MIDI". Let's see if we can find some solution.

Thanks Jeremy.
