Hi Fons.
MIDNAM is an XML midi instrument definition scheme.
The official specs used to be on the midi.org site, but they seem to be
gone now.
Some software can use MIDNAM files to define instruments that they can use.
I think Ardour can use them.
An important reason why full-featured software needs to have MIDNAM
support is because certain drum or percussive plugins use MIDNAM to
define note names.
For example, AVL Drums and other drum plugins:
The plugins need a way to tell the host the names of each of the drum notes.
MIDNAM is the only mechanism by which to do that.
MusE supports MIDNAM only in that respect.
I read that the Ardour team scoured the net for MIDNAM files
and found that many of them were full of errors or not created properly.
So the team fixed a lot of them.

Have you used the Channel Selector Dialog, and
set it to "Use a single fixed
channel for all playback"?
Ha, that solved it, many thanks. Had to search a
bit before I found
this in the track header menu.
Do you mean the dropdown in the track-header
itself? That is a MIDNAM
channel Display (check the tooltip).
What is MIDNAM ? Lookup it up in the manual, it talks about 'patches',
a 'model' and files in ~/.config. But I still have no idea what it is
all about ...
