Hi Hans, 

I just test your snapshot with an MidiMan MidiSport2x2 interface, and it
works perfectly (no latency) on old PIII 500Mhz with fluidsynth.
 
First, you must download the firmware (from usbmidi package
http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/bin/usbmidi-20040829.tar.gz)
 with ezload (ports/misc/ezload), and devices /dev/midi0.0
to /dev/umidi0.f are ready to work. 

Note that the "-x" option is required with ezdownload (?).

That doesn't works with official M-audio firmware: this version is split
in two files (bootloader + firmware), and ezload does not seem to know
to deal with that case.

Great job, Thanks!.

Luc.
