Wow, sounds like a tough thing to implement. 

I never considered daisy-chaining before.

I had planned to make the midi track info panel output routes 
 button ('iR') allow to connect to multiple output ports. 
But it would require removing the 'port' and 'channel' columns from the
 arranger track list, since there would be no more single port and channel.
Still planning, but we reached a conclusion that we wanted to keep
 the 'port' and 'channel' columns for quick easy viewing.
However the other day I took notice of how muse_qt4_evolution did the
 track list, and I'm toying with some ideas.

Still, all of that might not even apply to your request. Implementing
 your request might actually involve some different work.

Hmm, just wondering if it's possible currently by using Jack Midi devices
 instead of ALSA devices... Did I allow it? Must check...
Let me think about it some more.
Poke me with a stick if I haven't replied in a while...

Tim.
