Selecting the input device is seldom interesting to do from the softsynth. The routing is
primarily done by the host program or a specifically crafted routing app, like qjackctl or
kaconnect.
Infact, when using lots of softsynths from a sequencer it is a nouisance when the
softsynth has made a default connection to the input device. In my opinion, they should
just register themselves (most have this as an option).
The only case where you want the synth to directly connect itself to another device is
when you are
doing realtime playback from an external keyboard and not using any other stuff, more or
less a special case.

Programs default to the first MIDI device, which
is on the Audiophile,
and not all programs will easily allow one to change the input device.
Which programs are these, other than ZynAddSubFX? That's a bad bug,
that would render such programs unusuable to a professional. And
there's no excuse for it, it should be trivial to add support for
selecting the MIDI device to use.
Please report this bug to the author(s) of said program(s).
