Thanks. Makes perfect sense!

Lacking either connected MIDI hardware or a MIDI file

limited in how much testing I could do; however, the aplaymidi man
page says it wants -p CLIENT:PORT but will assume port 0 if just given
a client. So it appears that you would be able to use:
aplaymidi -p 20
aplaymidi -p 20:0
aplaymidi -p 'Ensoniq AudioPCI'
aplaymidi -p 'Ensoniq AudioPCI:ES1371'
aplaymidi -p 'Ensoniq AudioPCI:0'
aplaymidi -p 20:ES1371
but not
aplaymidi -p 0
aplaymidi -p ES1371
Does that clarify matters?

Oops,
sorry I think you need to address the client name, not the port
name,
so in your case something like aplaymidi -p "Ensoniq AudioPCI":0 But then
aplaymidi needs to support that and according to its man page it does. So
you can even use just aplaymidi -p Ensoniq
Okay ... learn something new every day! I had no idea one could use a
device name.
But, it doesn't seem to work here :)
First, the version of aplaymidi I have.
bob$ aplaymidi -V
aplaymidi version 1.0.23
And, I checked the man page and it does say one can use the device name.
And the ports are:
bob$ aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
20:0 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371
But, it doesn't work as advertised:
bob$ aplaymidi -p ES1271 test.mid
Invalid port ES1271 - No such file or directory
or
bob$ aplaymidi -pEnsoniq test.mid
Invalid port Ensoniq - No such file or directory
However, it does appear that a full name does work:
bob$ aplaymidi -p "Ensoniq AudioPCI" test.mid
And export ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS="Ensoniq AudioPCI" also seems to work.
is something broken here since I can't use "Ensoniq" or "ES1271"
?
