I presume I need to blacklist the snd-usb-audio/midi in the
/etc/hotplug/blacklist for this to work?

Also, do I need to make any other changes or as long as I put this
script into the /etc/hotplug/ dir I am set?

Thanks for the great script!

(is this going to become a standard part of the alsa driver? I sure hope
so :-)
