Alsa sequencer names aren't unique or
intended for use as identifiers,
you probably don't want to do this if it's at all possible to avoid...
If that's true, what purpose do they have at all ? In this concrete case, I have Python class which acts
as
an interface to the Novation Launchpad. I want its ports
to connect to the launchpad, as any other connection
wouldn't make any sense at all. I know the names of
the required ports, but not the numbers.
Why do you know the names of the required ports but not the numbers?

P.S. The direct USB interface to the launchpad is pretty simple, I'm
driving mine without Alsa or MIDI anything at all
