I've been stumped for a while as to why my Tascam US-122 box stopped working as a writeable midi port. MIDI input, and audio input work (maybe audio output too)

Using Debian Wheezy, everything was working up to a few weeks ago. MIDI input still works and there's nothing suspicious in the /var/logs.

But...

nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 20:0 TASCAM US-X2Y TASCAM US-X2Y MIDI 1 24:0 USB MIDI keyboard USB MIDI keyboard MIDI 1 nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -p 20:0 Desktop/076903b_.mid Cannot connect to port 20:0 - Input/output error nick@arial:~$ uname -a Linux arial 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 i686 GNU/Linux

Using older kernels doesn't help. Connecting e.g. rosegarden to the TASCAM US-122 in qjackctl fails silently (the link is not made in the connections window and nothing is printed on the console). Can't see any module loading issues.

Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? I'd submit a bug report but really can't figure out exactly what isn't working :(
