[sc-dev] MIDIOut on Linux (stefan?)

[mlang <mlang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I've been trying to get MIDIOut working reliably on Linux
several times, and never really succeeded without a manual
call to "acoonect".  AM I really that stupid, or
is something broken in the ALSA seq code in SCLang?

SPecifically, I can not seem to connect a MIDIOut to
a specific MIDIClient.destination.  I get no error,
but if I send MIDI events, they never reach that specified destination.
They only do if I manually call "aconnect" to connect
the two ports.
Which is kind of problematic, since aconnect required
PortIDs as arguments, which can change, so it is
sometimes not reliable to write code that can make
MIDIOut connections unattended...

Stefan, can you clarify this?  DO you know of this problem?
Or am I just missing something?
