Hi Paul, Please file in a bug report as an enhancement regarding USB MIDI support. We will see what we can do for 1.5.

I apologize for my ignorance, but I really don't know how to go about figuring this out. There is a file called /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-alsa.rules, which is full of cryptic stuff that I don't understand, including two lines referring to usb, but nothing specifically about MIDI. I compared it to the file on Ubuntu, and it's similar but not the same, but I have no idea whether any of the differences are meaningful. They're both small, so I've attached them. Also, I see that while the alsa-utils recipe is being built, the resulting image only seems to have a couple of alsa utilities: alsamixer and alsactl, even though there are a whole lot more listed in meta/recipes-multimedia/alsa/alsa-utils_1.0.25.bb. And when I run the system, there is no /dev/snd/seq device, which is the main interface to all MIDI devices. I don't plan on using that, preferring to use the /dev/snd/midi* OSS emulation device which is supposed to appear when an individual device is connected, but that's not happening, either. How do I find out if USB MIDI support is enabled in the kernel? This is plain vanilla core-image-base-cedartrail-nopvr, without any modifications. ALSA is part of it. Isn't it supposed to just work? -- Ciao, Paul D.
