Hi Luigi, 

I have got following Setup:

FC1 with oxygen8

used this Guide for the midi usb interface installation
http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/article.php3?id_article=67

(I didn't do the extract with the latest version...hadn't this error
-> a PE header error )

If all worked out properly -

- watch out for your cards :
    cat /proc/asound/cards

if the oxygen is on the 0 Index
add this to the /etc/modules.conf

   alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
   options snd-usb-audio index=1

and maybe you want to do the following to
add the module to the hotplug blacklist (I don't know
if this really made a difference in my setup -
seemed to work after rebooting without adding this
, hmm don't know yet why -> have to check that)

Hope this helps ->

Best Regards

Simon
