Does it really say "MidiSort" without "p"?  :-)

There is a limit of eight MIDI devices per card, so the snd-usb-audio

driver makes multiple ports available as subdevices that are

multiplexed through one device node.  This works fine when using the

ALSA API, but the OSS API is too simple for that.  (Using /dev/midi01

will open the first free subdevice.)
You can load the snd-virmidi driver and connect its ports to the

MidiSport ports.  (This works for any sequencer ports that you want to

access as an OSS /dev/midi* file).

This isn't a firmware issue.
