MIDI output to Tascam US-122 via usb-usx2y (regression?)

MIDI output to Tascam US-122 via usb-usx2y (regression?)

[Nick Bailey]

I've been stumped for a while as to why my Tascam US-122 box stopped
working as a writeable midi port. MIDI input, and audio input work
(maybe audio output too)

Using Debian Wheezy, everything was working up to a few weeks ago. MIDI
input still works and there's nothing suspicious in the /var/logs.

But...

nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -l
 Port    Client name                      Port name
 14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
 20:0    TASCAM US-X2Y                    TASCAM US-X2Y MIDI 1
 24:0    USB MIDI keyboard                USB MIDI keyboard MIDI 1
nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -p 20:0 Desktop/076903b_.mid
Cannot connect to port 20:0 - Input/output error
nick@arial:~$ uname -a
Linux arial 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 i686 GNU/Linux

Using older kernels doesn't help. Connecting e.g. rosegarden to the
TASCAM US-122 in qjackctl fails silently (the link is not made in the
connections window and nothing is printed on the console). Can't see
any module loading issues.

Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? I'd submit a bug report but
really can't figure out exactly what isn't working :(

The fix:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git;a=commitdiff;h=e99ddfde6ae0
should show up in the stable kernels soon.
