Hi Sergio, Esi Juli@ seems to be a different beast than most other ice1724-based cards. I am working on the driver, it will take a number of changes to the generic ice1724 driver due to presumably different clocking scheme. The ice1724 midi driver has a bug causing kernel hang when opening the device. It has been reported, and Takashi has provided an experimental patch. http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2007-April/000641.html It would be great if you were able to test the patch. The midi device should work (hopefully) using the existing driver for Juli@. Thanks a lot, Pavel. Sergio Atzori wrote: > Hello, my name is Sergio Atzori.
