I do have a couple of 1010's but have not had the time to test this. 

The only suggestion would be to post to alsa-dev but you already did
that. Maybe post again? :-) Perhaps the next thing to do would be to try
to find out (from the alsa-dev developers that wrote the original
driver, I guess) who could be a good technical contact person inside
Midiman to try to figure out which bit needs to be turned on or off to
fix this. Yet another (but that would require a lot of free time and
some daring) would be to open up a 1010 and try to figure out where the
noise is coming from (ie: preamp, amp, adc clocking).

Sounds like a reasonable assumption.
