[PlanetCCRMA] Problems with TASCAM US-122

In general I am pretty well rapt with the PlanetCCRMA distro. I am
using FC3 as the base. I have a HP Evo N610c notebook and a Tascam
US-122 USB audio box.
I can get Jack, Ardour, Kack-Rack etc all working using PCM audio. (I
am getting a frustrating "zombified" jackd after inderminate period of
time though).

One thing that is puzzling me though is Midi in and out. I had this
working before on a Suse 9.2 box.

Every seems to look OK except I get this "dmesg" kernel error as soon
as   I send MIDI from my keyboard.
ALSA /usr/src/rpm/BUILD/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/usb/usbmidi.c:191:
unexpected port 15!
ALSA /usr/src/rpm/BUILD/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/usb/usbmidi.c:191:
unexpected port 14!

I basically don't seem to get any MIDI in or out. (I tried to use
aseqdump to no avail with the tascam port. It does work with vkeybd on
the 128:0 device)


I also attach some other pertinent output
