Please, be specific with these bug reports or they are useless.
I have always found it necessary to add
snd-seq-midi
to /etc/modules to get MIDI to work on my DeMuDi systems.
I find
http://alsa.opensrc.org/aadebug
to be a useful source of diagnostic info (you can always snip the modprobe
conf section). I suspect most posters to this list aren't intending to make
formal bug reports, however, if we make a habit of including this
information in a familiar format it makes it easier for everyone to zero in
on each particular case and may provide useful incidental information.

That's very similar to my system, and I was pleasantly surprised that
installing 2.6.14 "just worked". I had to run alsaconf, and then I
had audio with all the exact same problems I'd had with 2.6.12. I
haven't had hardware MIDI working since 2.4 or maybe even 2.2, and I
haven't tested recording recently, but playing works fine.
If you need to compare your setup to mine, feel free to ask.
