Dave,
   Fernando's fix is fine. I just kjumped in early as I was around a
bunch today working on my ogg file server. The stuff I was talking
about may or may not help you when you are doing reboots, etc. One
consistent problem with the MidiMan type USB-MIDI interface is it
seems to change whether it's card 0 or card 1 so things get confused.
Adding the options snd-card-0 index=0 will keep your cards in place
from day to day and make things run more consistently.

   It's not all that well described out there (IMHO) and it's caused
me problems. Clemens (Alsa developer) recommends it.

   What ever you do have fun making music under Linux. Glad you have
things working.
