Pop_OS just changed over to pipewire as its audio backend. It's working great with Pd, but I can't seem to get MIDI working.

I have an Akai MPK mini connected, but the only things that show up in MIDI Settings are /dev/midi1 and /dev/midi2. Do I need to compile Pd with other flags?

Typically you would use ALSA-MIDI (instead of the default OSS-MIDI), and connect Pd with your devices via some external application like qjackctl, qpwctl (if I remember the name correctly), or good olde aconnect.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, IOhannes.

I have qpwgraph. It shows my hardware as alsa and pipewire MIDI ports. I suppose Pd would show MIDI ports if I compile it with the right flags? Because Pd is showing /dev/midi1, I'm assuming that my current config is still giving me OSS ports instead of ALSA.

Here's my current configuration:

./configure --enable-jack --disable-oss --disable-portaudio --enable-alsa

Is there a separate flag for alsa-midi? I don't see any other relevant flags in ./configure --help.
