Sorry to intrude - it looks like the problem has been resolved and a patch/fix
will be available soon; but I'd like to check whether the problem I'm having is
directly related to this defect - it seems almost certain it is.

Initialization of my Echo mia midi card is failing:

$ dmesg|grep -i echoaudio

Echoaudio Mia: probe of 0000:00:0c.0 failed with error -2

This is on Fedora 9.  The alsa firmware package(s) are not included in F9 at
this point, right? - Thus the error.

Two questions: Is the fix (such as 'yum'able alsa*firmware packages) likely to
be available soon?

Is there a fairly straightfoward work-around, such as installing the missing
alsa-firmware packages by hand?


Thanks!
