[LAU] MIDI on M-Audio Audiophile 24/96

Is anyone using MIDI on a M-Audio 24/96 (ICE1712) card? I've had one for
several years and keep using my little USB adapter because the card just
doesn't work.

Well, it works fine for audio. And it pretends to work for MIDI as well.
But, after playing a few songs it has a tendency to hang my system.
Completely. When it hangs the keyboard is frozen; not even the power
button the computer responds. I have hit <RESET> and then deal with the
"not cleanly shutdown" stuff later.

When I first got the card I had some discussions on the alsa lists.
Nothing really happened with that so I assumed that a new version of
alsa and/or linux would solve things. Well, I've gone though more than a
few updates and I think this is the 3rd motherboard ... and still the
same problem.

So, anyone with success? Otherwise I'm going to assume that there is a
problem with the hardware on the card. But, really it does seem to me to
be a driver problem. I'd like to dump the USB interface to free up a port.
