The alsa driver for usb audio devices (snd-usb-audio) handles both audio
and midi.

Let's see... what soundcards do you have?
Do this in a terminal to see what cards and devices did your system
recognize:
  cat /proc/asound/cards
  cat /proc/asound/devices

This may be a problem with missing oss midi raw devices in /dev (a
problem in fedora core 3). See other related threads today...
