Mailing List Archive: Gentoo 2.6 specific Midisport 2x2 instructions?

Hi,
The Alsa site's card list is being rebuilt and the Midisport info
isn't available. I tried looking in the forums but didn't fine a
complete picture. Google is giving me too much unusable info.

Is there anyone around using a Midisport 2x2 (or other Midisport)
that would be willing to share how you did it?

Mine is recognized in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

T: Bus=04 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0763 ProdID=1001 Rev= 0.01
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
I: If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs=13 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)

E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms

<SNIP>
E: Ad=08(O) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 256 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=89(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=09(O) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=8a(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=0a(O) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms

It's visible in usbview as an unknown device.

I've tried putting some info in /etc/hotplug/usb/usb.usermap. (Why
isn't this device in the usb.distmap file?) That didn't help.

Anyway, thanks in advance,
Mark

Should anyone need to know this in the future then for the record
there are instructions here that seem to work very well:

http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/

This solution does require the use of non-Open Source firmware, but
that's a by product of owning a Midisport.

I used this with the Midisport 2x2 and 2.6.9-rc2-mm4-VP-S7-UMP-noACPI.
I edited my /etc/modules.d/alsa file to add the appropriate USB stuff:

flash mark $ cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

options snd cards_limit=3
flash mark $

Cheers,
Mark
