[PD] PD not listening to midi input

Hello!

I am trying to get a MIDI keyboard connected
via USB with a midisport uno interface to talk
to PD. I get midi data with 'cat /dev/midi1',
and 'csound --sched -d -o dac --midi-device=1'
also hears what I play, but the "Test Audio
and MIDI" patch in PD doesn't respond to
the input.

I think the correct call would be 'pd -mididev 2'
but I also tried several other combinations such
as 

pd                  (no arguments)
pd -mididev N       (for N=0,1,2,3)
pd -alsa -mididev N
pd -oss -mididev N
pd -jack -mididev N (after running 'jackd -R -d alsa -P -r 44100 -p 64 -n 4')

and none of them work.

I am using PD 0.38.4 in Linux (Kubuntu breezy),
Kernel 2.6.12 and ALSA v1.0.9. I am not sure
which information is relevant, so I include
below the contents of /dev/sndstat,
/proc/asound/devices and part of the output
of lsmod concerning sound.

I appreciate your help and thank you in advance,

with best regards,

Marcelo Queiroz
