This all happens before the interupt handler is even installed, or midi interrupts are enabled in the soundcard.  
if ( mpu401->create_device (base_addr + A_MUDATA , &card.midi.driver, 0, midi_interrupt_op, &card.midi) == B_OK)
{....}
If I understand what you mean by callback, the function 'midi_interrupt_op' never gets called, or the interrupt hook.  I think that the problem is somehow in the way I create_device.  It gets created, but the first time its called, it crashes.  Maybe an incorrect pointer.  Also, in the Ad1816 source, the parameter &card.midi is just 0.  I'm not sure what the module is looking for here.

He was having a similar problem with the midi freezing the computer.  He thought it was an interrupt issue.  I know he didn't have midi equipment to test it.  I looked at some of his older code, and it is just like the Sonic Vibes.  I will have to ask if he made any progress, or at least collaborate.

Its only about 9-10kB. Can't be too much code, right? :-)

I'll look at it some more tonight.  If I getting it working, I will make the source available.
