I don't know about their Midi interfaces, but Midiman/M-Audio have
certainly been Linux-positive w.r.t their audio cards. (The package my
Delta 1010 came in even advertised Linux compatibility, complete with a
little penuguin graphic under the list of supported platforms.) I'd
imagine that they could be persuaded to release specs for their midi interfaces
if they haven't already done so.  (Has anyone asked?)
