Well, OK, I guess I don't understand the meaning of 'ports' then. The HDSP only has two sets of in and out connectors. Are these not ports? Or does the Alsa spec think that each 'port' is somehow combination of a MIDI connector and a channel or something? How is it that a single input uses up 32 port number? (HDSP 9652 MIDI 1 seems to go from port 0 to port 31, and I guess #2 goes from 32-63.) > > >2) Why does the HDSP 9652 not tell me its name like the MidiSport does? > > its using a copy of some generic ALSA code that just calls the ports > "MIDI C P" where C=card number and P=physical port number. i'll change > this when i add the fixes for the mixer and the h/w names. > This would be very helpful.
