#281 alsamidi startup flag broken

[danomatika]

In any of the autobuilds of 0.40.3, the "-alsamidi" startup flag selects the checkbox for Alsamidi in the media menu, but the actual midi I/O ports are not created aka aconnect -io does not show them. Upon selecting Alsamidi in the media menu, the proper connections appear.

have you tried this on Pd-vanilla 0.41? I wonder if there is different behavior there?

Still a problem for me as I need pd to open its midi ports automatically.

i can reproduce on Pd-0.41;

a workaround is to specify the mididev;

e.g. use "-alsamidi -mididev 1" to get a single (autoconnected) alsamidi-port
or use "-alsamidi -mididev 2" to get two (unconnected) alsamidi-ports
