There is a spin locks bug with the MidiMan USB Midi driver for all Windows 
versions.  According to their website, they are aware of the problem and are 
working on a fix.

I own the MidiMan 8x8 and was having problems with audio playback when 
running 16+ tracks of 24/48 audio (using an Aardvark Q10) and the MidiMan 
running 1 or more tracks of Midi in Cubase.  I found that if I turned off 
all the midi playback, the audio playback magically cleared up.  After 
reading about the spin locks bug in MidiMan USB driver, I plugged my Midiman 
into the serial port and switched to using the serial port driver and my 
audio pops and clicks problem completely went away.

I don't know if this same issue is in the Linux or Mac USB drivers, but it 
certainly caused me problems when running my machine under a fairly heavy 
load.
