Ok, it works, sometimes. The problem is that, at least
on my system,
all the alsa-midi clients have the same human-readable identifier for
both the input and the output - so I have to use the numbers, but
FreeWheeling in particular has also the same port numbers (132)!! So I
can only access the port "FreeWheeling IN 1", but not the port
"FreeWheeling OUT 1" because they are both 132:0 (and aconnect chooses
it to be "FreeWheeling IN 1")
$ aconnect -i
client 130: 'FreeWheeling' [type=user]
1 'FreeWheeling OUT 1'
2 'FreeWheeling OUT 2'
3 'FreeWheeling OUT 3'
4 'FreeWheeling OUT 4'
$ aconnect -o
client 130: 'FreeWheeling' [type=user]
0 'FreeWheeling IN 1'
Don't bother about the IN/OUT stuff and numbers that
are part of the human readable names.
Use the 'real' port numbers (the ones at the beginning
of the lines aconnect -io outputs) instead.
The following works for me:
either using the client name string and port numbers
$ aconnect FreeWheeling:1 FreeWheeling:0
or using the the client number and port numbers
$ aconnect 130:1 130:0
I hope this helps.
best,
