I've set up a Midiman Midisport 2x2 over the weekend
and I seem to have gotten it mostly working. 
It's on a compaq laptop with an ess maestro.

I'm a bit puzzled by this though -- 
all four ports show up as 'inputs'.
Does anyone know if this is to be expected?

[root@localhost bin]# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [2E             ]: ES1978 - ESS ES1978 (Maestro 2E)
                     ESS ES1978 (Maestro 2E) at 0x3000, irq 11
1 [2x2            ]: USB-Audio - Midisport 2x2
                     Midiman Midisport 2x2 at 001/004

The outputs are:

[root@localhost bin]# aconnect  -lo
client 64: 'External MIDI 0' [type=kernel]
    0 'MIDI 0-0       '


The inputs: 

[root@localhost bin]# aconnect  -li
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
        Connecting To: 63:0
client 64: 'External MIDI 0' [type=kernel]
    0 'MIDI 0-0        '
client 72: 'External MIDI 1' [type=kernel]
    0 'Midisport 2x2 Port 0'
    1 'Midisport 2x2 Port 1'
    2 'Midisport 2x2 Port 2'
    3 'Midisport 2x2 Port 3'


This is also the same if I swap the card numbers
making the midiman card no. 0.

I can read data from port 0 of the midiman,
but I'm not sure how I can get a sequencer or
any kind of player to output to 
the midisports 'port 1' which I am assuming
is an output port for channel A. (just a guess)

Do I need to set up the usb port as a second sound
card to do that? 
Any help greatly appreciated.
