Exactly!
connect with any option does not connect the MIDI devices to Pd while running Pd.
I tried aconnect -l, aconnect -i, aconnect -o, aconnect -d, aconnect -e and aconnect -x from Pd with [shell] and from a terminal.
I tried alsa-midi and oss-midi with or without sending the midi-dialog.
aconnect -i, aconnect -o and aconnect -l listed the USB-MIDI interface correctly but did not connect it.
The Pd console says:
opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 output device(s)
Using OSS-MIDI nothing further happened.
Using ALSA-MIDI it crashed after alsaconnect -i and sending any midi-dialog like [1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 4 4( or [2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 4 4( twice.
When connecting the USB device during startup of Pd it works fine - but aconnect -d or -x does not disconnect it either.
I just noticed that on my machine that I used for testing Pd 0.47.1 was installed.
Were there any changes since 0.47.1 and 0.48.1?
I have another box with 0.48.1 installed and will try again tomorrow.

you mean "aconnect -l" in the terminal does not give you any devices?
Doesn't work here.

You can also use alsa-midi in pd and "aconnect" to connect your device to pd
without using jack.

i didn't propose anything with jack.
qjackctl (despite it's name) is a tool that allows to manage
- jack audio connections
- jack midi connections
- alsa midi connections
i was only talking about the last option, which is totally independent
of of JACK.
qjcackctl would allow you to magically connect your new devices to Pd
once they are plugged in, without having the need to open any dialog.
i don't know about OSS-MIDI. i never use it.
