Patch for port naming, Re: [linux-audio-user] Any instructions about for running a Win VSTi under vstserver

[Robert Jonsson]

Hi, 

I finally got it working by upgrading my Wine install. And it is working quite 
nicely at that, tried a bunch of synths fro kvr-vst that work pretty good.

But this mail isn't about that.

This happens since because vsti always exported them with the same port name, 
which MusE doesn't like. 

This vsti patch makes vsti add the client_name to the port name (it can be 
argued if the Input/Output prefix needs to be there but I guess some hosts 
like it).
