Probably because the port with the space in it is the last commandline
argument.

In shell spaces have to be quoted/escaped somehow, because a normal
space means that one argument ends and another begins. To be save:
always quote names with spaces. Not sure if escaping them would work
with backslash, as happens with filenames:
aconnect Pure\ Data:1 tickle:0

On Archlinux aseqnet is part of alsa-utils, which is the same as
aconnect. I'm running version 1.2.2 .
aseqview has its own package, which is only available in a user
repository, so might be out of date or rarely used today, due to better
alternatives perhaps.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
