Does it really say "MidiSort" without "p"?  :-)

There is a limit of eight MIDI devices per card, so the snd-usb-audio
driver makes multiple ports available as subdevices that are
multiplexed through one device node.  This works fine when using the
ALSA API, but the OSS API is too simple for that.  (Using /dev/midi01
will open the first free subdevice.)

You can load the snd-virmidi driver and connect its ports to the
MidiSport ports.  (This works for any sequencer ports that you want to
access as an OSS /dev/midi* file).

This isn't a firmware issue.
