That is what you get for mixing systems.

But why do you as a developer care about that? Surely its the users 
responsibility? And the users will know which jack-midi-to-alsa-midi bridge 
they use and how this names the ports? (Don't try to be smarter then the user, 
its never working out correctly.)

But why is your app giving midi-ports both for jack and alsa at the same time?

Have fun,
