Glad it worked. I've had a couple of problems like this in the past. I
tried to run a machine with only MIDI and no sound cards but had
problems. I've also tried it the way you were doing it and had
problems. I'm guessing that the Alsa setup scripts are assumign that
all systems have sound cards so the USB stuff assumes taht stuff is
loaded.

Who knows. I'm not that smart. just glad this worked.
