Hello everyone!
Can I rename/alias ALSa sequencer ardware ports? I tried the syntax used for
aliasing pcm devices, but it doesn't appear to work.
I'm looking for this, because I have a couple of USB devices registering as
"USB MIDI cable something" and that is a) long and b) not very helpful.
Thanks for any hint and kind regards
Julien

No.
The names of sequencer ports are controlled only by the sequencer
client (application/driver) itself.

You could use the "Midi Through" ports of the snd-seq-dummy driver and
connect the hardware ports from/to those. Use the "ports" parameter
to get more than one port. (These names are neither short nor helpful,
but at least unique.)
It would be possible to write your own tool that behaves like the
snd-seq-dummy driver but allows customizing the port names.

Hello Clemens!
thanks for this clear answer. It's a pitty, but I suspected as much after my
own research and previous posts.
Warm regards
Julien
