[linux-audio-user] usb midi midiman 8x8

Hi, I've run into problems with my audiophile 2496 where the mpu401 hardware design doesn't support TX interupts so when spinlocks occur it causes complete system lockup. Power reset required. My primary midi concern is i/o for mmc and mtc. Questions 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. 2. If I can get the 8x8 working, this would eliminate the need for an audiocard that has midi i/o. Right? 3. Is anyone using active usb extension cables? We've gotta run about 50 ft. Anyone see a problem with that? Well, question 2 seems obvious but better to be safe. ron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
