Sorry for responding to my own message.  Here's some interesting news:
on Fedora 9 Edirol UA-25 works with OSS in Pd even in Advance mode.
After rebooting, it came up as the first device in /proc/asound/cards.
It was quite by accident that I tried the combination of listening to
the output of the ua-25 while using Pd/OSS.  Midi still seems to require
alsamidi, though.
