FYI,
I was in the process of saving for a pc to run my midi based programs after the last year of problems with my mac---core midi kept crashing and would only be fixed by reinstalling the entire system. This is after purchasing disk warrior and trying to run my mac as minimal programs as possible.
The midi kept terminally crashing.
The problem was with the m-audio firewire drivers.
To fix---I deleted the drivers. ran disk utility to repair permissions.
Clean installed the m-audio drivers, and now everything is working again. And if it does screw up again---the whole process took less than 30 minutes to fix.
I hope this helps someone out there.
