I realized there was a possibly significant gap in my knowledge of
hardware, so I searched, and found that there have been a few Firewire
devices with both audio and MIDI.  The questions I have are (a) are any
of them known to work well with current Linux, and (b) how is the MIDI
supported on the backend, is it ALSA?

i have used focusrite sapphires with good success, both the now discontinued pro26 and the pro56. FFADO makes midi available as a jackmidi port, so (as others have noted) you will need to run aj2midid -e to bridge them to ALSA sequencer clients. i just added it as a post-startup command in qjackctl and forgot about it. can't comment on MIDI timing performance, i only ever used it for controllers, but i don't see any reason to have doubts.
