for myself, i think its reasonable accurate to say that ALSA's
identification of MIDI ports is totally FUBAR'ed. this doesn't help
much.
i'm not quite sure what you mean about ardour (2's) behaviour, but its
not on my mind much at this point since ardour3 doesn't use ALSA MIDI
for anything at all, and will not do so again.
