I don't know, honestly. Because that way it worked. I have a MidiSport 2x2,
and an Axiom USB/MIDI controller keyboard. The MidSport needs it's firmware
loaded, which udev does during boot. Either this, or the undefined loading
order (partly udev, partly alsasound, init running it's scripts in parallel)
leads to mess when I don't specify it twice. If someone knows better, please
explain...

I had also had problems with the loading order of soundcards. Everything
was fine when I hotplugged or switched on my usb midi devices, but when I
had them on during boot the soundcard order got scrambled. On Sun, 4 Nov 2007, ANDERSON GREGORY wrote:

Any MIDI keyboard will work as long as you have a MIDI interface that
works. Trickiness comes into play with USB/MIDI keyboards. Those are
essentially USB/MIDI interfaces tucked into a keyboard. As
previously-discussed here, USB/MIDI devices may or may not work with
Linux. Roland/Edirol and Korg are two brands known to work.
When ALSA isn't
fighting over which sound card to load in which order on
my system, the E-MU Xmidi1x1 works just fine. It only needs the
snd-usb-audio driver on my system.
But that's just the USB<>MIDI interface, can't give advice about
professional keyboards.
Now (in openSUSE
10.3), I explicitely configured ALSA via YaST to load snd-usb-audio twice,
resulting in this config file (/etc/modprobe.d/sound):
options snd-emu10k1 enable=1 index=0
options snd-ice1712 enable=1 index=1
options snd-usb-audio enable=1,1 index=2,3
# WL76.vIcU+IM+7DC:SB Audigy2 ZS
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# bSAa.PVFZbfE_QN2:M-Audio Delta 1010LT
alias snd-card-1 snd-ice1712
# uniq.unknown_key:USB Audio
alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
# uniq.unknownkey0:USB Audio
alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio
I tried something along those lines, was only successful in killing two
USB devices, including the USB<>MIDI adapter.
Note that the comments are YaST specific
identifiers and not needed for other
distros.
Thanks. Why twice?
