[alsa-devel] Yamaha Montage class-compliant USB MIDI
I have a Yamaha Montage synthesiser sitting on my desk, which supports MIDI and multi-channel audio over USB. I'd like to get it talking to Linux ALSA.
To my surprise, it offers two USB configurations, the normal Yamaha vendor-specific one (presumably very similar to the MOX defined in quirks-table.h:362) but also a class-compliant one.
The class-complaint configuration nearly works out of the box. Audio and MIDI in (to the computer) work fine, but MIDI out (i.e. to the synth) is broken, at least in kernel 4.9-rc1 and 4.8. Here's the lsusb output:

Doing an aplaymidi -p 20:0 test.mid hangs without receiving the test notes at the synth end, and the kernel eventually reports:
sound midiC1D0: rawmidi drain error (avail = 3700, buffer_size = 4096)
Monitoring the USB traffic while this happens,

so it looks like we stop getting callbacks for URBs after the first couple?
This class-compliant interface apparently works okay on macOS/iOS, although macOS uses the vendor-specific interface when the proprietary drivers are installed. But I don't know how to get a dump of the USB traffic on either of those platforms for comparison.
Looking at where the callbacks stop, I (naively) wonder if macOS serialises USB MIDI URBs or something like that, and I'm seeing a Yamaha bug with multiple URBs in flight?
Is there anything more I can usefully do to further diagnose what's going on?
Would it be better to attempt to support the (presumably very similar to existing MOX and more heavily tested) vendor-specific USB configuration? Is it possible to write a quirk that prefers this configuration, assuming similar structure to MOX and earlier Yamaha audio and MIDI devices?
Best wishes,
Chris.
