launching pd with the -alsamidi switch has no effect. in order to let puredata open the sequencer port, I have to click Media->ALSA-MIDI and click Apply or Ok, then pd status window will print:
Opened Alsa Client 128 in:1 out:1
this can be a bug or a feature, but maybe it is logical, if I set the -alsamidi switch, I *want* MIDI ports opened.
also, is there a switch or something to connect these sequencer ports directly to some other ports? (are we planning to insert lash support?)
