Good day...
Just coming to grips working with and learning the alias system...
Under what conditions might a Jack port not have any alias names?
When might I expect to encounter that situation?
You should never assume the existence of any aliases.
Back to the drawing board. I thought that was the exception not the rule.
So there's no way to tell if a Jack system port actually belongs to (our
own) ALSA client?
I guess there's nothing technically wrong with listing our own ALSA ports.
Bizarre - It would allow feeding the app's own ALSA ports back into
the app as Jack midi ports. Might have its uses...
That is what you get for mixing systems.
But why do you as a developer care about that? Surely its the users
responsibility? And the users will know which jack-midi-to-alsa-midi bridge
they use and how this names the ports? (Don't try to be smarter then the user,
its never working out correctly.)
But why is your app giving midi-ports both for jack and alsa at the same time?
Have fun,
