Maybe I'm the wrong person to answer that, because I have limited experience 
with complete USB sound solutions. I know, however, that M-Audio is known for 
good Linux compatibility. I'm using a M-Audio kbd myself, and it works almost 
flawlessly.

Here is what I'd try to examine the prpblem:

1) Can you find the card in /proc/bus/usb or with lsusb?
2) If the card registers with the USB system, can you see that the kernel 
module loads? With my keyboard, I found that it helps modprob'ing the 
usb-midi module BEFORE hooking it up.
3) If the kernel module has been loaded, does it help stopping and restarting 
alsa?

Hope this gets you a step ahead.
