Seq24 does not indentify itself very well when when trying to route inputs and outputs via Patchage or other similar GUIs like Catia. I know it can be done because other programs like Ardour get it right. Everytime I use Seq24 I have tobplay around for a while guessing how to connect plugins etc..

However, the name "Seq24" is nowhere to be found. I think it says "throughput-0" or something not obvious or intuitive.
