Clemens,

Thanks a lot. After a few pointer fixes to make it compile your code 
works flawlessly for both the generic as well as realtime ubuntu kernel.

I am enclosing the functioning patch.

Now I cannot feel any delay difference between usb and ice1724 midi 
inputs. Well done, gentlemen, thank you all.

Regards,


Pavel Hofman.
