I keep getting reports that people have trouble understanding the meaning of the tabs in the Connect window, esp. regarding MIDI.

The meaning of the ALSA tab is (afaict) ALSA MIDI, but most people associate ALSA only with audio (as in PMC).

The result is that they think that QjackCtl is not capable of connecting ALSA MIDI devices.

i therefore suggest to change the tab-label from ALSA to ALSA MIDI which is hopefully easier to understand (albeit longer).

the issue that triggered this bug-report was somebody who used aj2midid to convert both an ALSA-MIDI device and an ALSA-MIDI application to jack-midi so they could connect the two in the MIDI tab (rather than just connect them directly in the ALSA tab.
