OK, Next mission: - a mail to Midiman (and Echo audio also? ...For the Gina24 Firmware) - testdrive with a soundblaster 128 (tho first i need to build a midi to gameport interface) I'll let thisone rest for a little while and hope for a propper solution.

Marcos,
The firmware is indeed not distributable and is is essential for the midisport to work. Ok
So the hardware will not be able to work with a distro on live CD 'out of the box'.
Yes, for now! We will try to make it GPL in some way (talking to the owners or rewriting)
BUT, would it be possible to add the needed files AFTER burning the ISO?
No, at least for a begginer: you have to remaster all the CD, and, for that, you need a working GNU+Linux distro and many things in your head :D
For instance that i can add a folder named /firmware/midiman/midisport4x4 where i can place the firmware files from this package http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/
It's not necesary to do that, you can compile things from the CD, but we dont encourage the people to use non-free software, in this case we need help to talk with Midiman, dont you think?
You a re a midiman products user, ¿could you talk with them?
I know it is a bit odd and i have no idea how it affects the Musix distro, but it would give more people the oppertunity to try Musix and enable them to use the CD 'on the go' without the need to buy more hardware.
anyway, i'm going to figure out how to proceed, i want to learn these packages and make music, most important part is a midi input and a low latency reaction from a softsynth. can this be done with a basic soundblaster thing?
Sure: I do!
Or do those cards have too much latency just like running under windows?
Mmm... 23ms, or 11ms, or 5ms, it depends on your hardware config, you could go for 1.6ms too
Quiet a big step back on quality, but i have to find a realistic way to get started.
Sure
Mano.
