does support bristrol ALSA sequencer? if it accesses only the midi device, then snd-usb-midi module won't be loaded automatically, because the midi device itself is not the sequencer stuff. the auto-load mechanism works only when the sequencer stuff is requested. i think that an easy way is to force to load snd-usb-midi after snd-usb-audio, such as above command in /etc/modules.conf.
