This bug has now been completely fixed. You can get the latest MPU-401
driver from the CVS, or I can send you the files.
1. I've got a midiman usb 8x8, has anyone gotten
this
to work with the firmware from the Linux Hotplug? I
think this work was done by Clemens Ladisch.
The GPL firmware on
linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net was written by Lars
Dölle, and it supports 1x1 and 2x2 devices only. For the 8x8, you
currently need my package from
<http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~ladischc/midisport_linux_firmware.html>.
2. If I can get the 8x8 working, this would eliminate
the need for an audiocard that has midi i/o. Right?
Yes. (And nothing prevents you from using both.)
