Could you explain in more
detail what is actually going on so I could investigate a bit.
Probably restoring connections between Yoshimi JACK MIDI ports and ports
created by a2jmidid:
-u forces a2jmidid to generate non-unique port names (see NOTES)
NOTES
ALSA does not guarantee client names to by unique. I.e. it is
possible to have two apps that create two clients with same ALSA
client name. JACK however requires port names to be unique. To ensure
this unique‐ness, a2jmidid will add the unique numeric ALSA client ID to
the JACK port name. However this behaviour is known to be
problematic when restoring connections using simplistic tools like
aj-snapshot and jack_connect. In order to make them work, the -u
option can be used. This option will cause a2jmidid to omit the numeric
ALSA Client ID from JACK port names. In this mode, ALSA client name
uniqueness must be guartanteed externally
