Hi Sean,

Somehow i think these midisports should work just fine, just a matter
of finding out how to activate them..

ALSA reports on their site that the ALSA driver supports all midisports.
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=All#matrix

I just can't find a good reference on the alsy site to confirm any of
them working. (but i think many people are using them)    :-)

ALSA is GNU GPL and they are one of the first (if not THE FIRST) who
programmed Linux audio drivers. So when they say midisport is
supported, then i asume that it is ok to use any hardware on their
list.

For me it is time to learn how to config al this. And i just hope i
don't cause to much confusion by explaining how i understand it so
far. Please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm here to learn.

Mano.
