Yes, I think so too.

Furthermore, I'd think about a softsynth which offers the 
available MIDI-ins via a popup menu (or similar). Does not 
waste too much space on the screen and is easier to use and 
understand than the external tools.

The same maybe for programs which record audio. These could 
also offer a popup for available in- and outputs each. 
Currently, it's a sort of poker because I have two USB cards. 
Each session the cards will be registrated in a different 
order. So, a popup would make it easy to directly switch the 
card from within the the program (OK, I still didn't respect 
jack ;-).

 Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer, but maybe the base 
functionality could be put in common ALSA/Jack headers so the 
programmer of an application 'only' needs to create a popup 
and fill it with content.


 Best regards
