qjackctl has three tabs: Audio, Midi, and ALSA. The device shows up in the

ALSA tab.

lmms has a drop down list for midi in and midi out. It shows up on those lists,

I can select it, and then I'm off making sounds. And that is using ALSA as the

backend, so I know this can be done.

aconnect -o sees it:

client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 20: 'AKM320' [type=kernel]
    0 'AKM320 MIDI 1   '

Neither Pd nor Pd-l2ork see it or list it with --listdev.

I can symlink /dev/snd/midiwhatevs to /dev/midi and it will get

found and work in pd-0.46-7 (but not in Pd-l2ork-- maybe something

with the 0.43 changes? not sure). But that requires

me to go buy clothes from 2005 off of ebay. I don't want to do that,

I want *AKM320* to show up in a dropdown list in Pd.

A fun challenge....

Does anything see it? (In particular, does the qjackctl MIDI patch bay see it?)
Not that that's scientific, but that's the way I check around for whether the
so-called ALSA MIDI driver can find it.
