Hello all,
after reading ASLA docs for some hours I've not found an
answer to the following:
Given the ALSA sequencer client and port _names_, find the
numbers required to set up a connection (a 'subscription'
in ALSA lingo).
ALSA MIDI ports have names?
They do. For example:
fons@zita1:~> aconnect -i
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 20: 'TerraTec EWS88MT' [type=kernel]
0 'TerraTec EWS88MT MIDI'
client 24: 'MPU-401 UART' [type=kernel]
0 'MPU-401 UART MIDI'
So given e.g. 'TerraTec EWS88MT','TerraTec EWS88MT MIDI'
how do I find 20,0 (from within an application) ?
Or in other words, what is ALSA's get_port_by_name() ?
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...
