i have a problem with my m-audio uc-33 usb midi controller, i use ubuntu 8.10,
with this pd version, the controller does not work:

i use my self compiled pd version (Pd version 0.41.0), with this, it works without problems as alsa-midi controller.
Try to start pd-ext like this:
pd -alsamidi
or use the MIDI settings menu to select the ALSA midi mode. If Pd-ext doesn't want to start the ALSA midi mode, then that version probably is compiled without ALSA midi support. That would be a bug that can only be fixed by recompiling.
Using the rawmidi devices should work as well in general, but maybe you have to load some additional modules (snd_rawmidi, snd-seq-oss, or so). Also Pd's way of specifiying device numbers is a bit strange. Maybe this still is helpful: http://footils.org/cms/show/24 (generally it's outdated, though)
