Okay ... learn something new every day! I had no idea one could use a
device name.

But, it doesn't seem to work here :)

First, the version of aplaymidi I have.

bob$ aplaymidi -V
aplaymidi version 1.0.23

And, I checked the man page and it does say one can use the device name.

And the ports are:

bob$ aplaymidi -l
 Port Client name Port name
 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
 20:0 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371

But, it doesn't work as advertised:

bob$ aplaymidi -p ES1271 test.mid
Invalid port ES1271 - No such file or directory

or

bob$ aplaymidi -pEnsoniq test.mid
Invalid port Ensoniq - No such file or directory

However, it does appear that a full name does work:

bob$ aplaymidi -p "Ensoniq AudioPCI" test.mid

And export ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS="Ensoniq AudioPCI" also seems to work.

is something broken here since I can't use "Ensoniq" or "ES1271" ?
