I have a workaround (no tested).
'TerraTec EWX24/96' is the shortname of your soundcard and it is used
to set the rawmidi name (`snd_mpu401_uart_new' called in ice1712.c,
the source of the kernel module). So, if you change the shortname, you
also change the rawmidi name.
The info about the irq number is enough to get two different rawmidi
names. The new shortname after the follow patch is
'TerraTec EWX24/96, irq %d'
consequently the longname becomes
'TerraTec EWX24/96, irq %d at 0x%lx'
The new rawmidi name is
'TerraTec EWX24/96, irq %d MIDI'
You can change the format of the string by editing the patch
(the maxsize for shortname is 31 characters). You can also edit the
basename for your card in linux/sound/pci/ice1712/ews.c:1035.
