[fluid-dev] Fluidsynth ALSA sequencer port naming

[Julien Claassen]

Hello everyone!
  I just stumbled across something "ugly". Fluidsynth appends its PID to the 
ALSA sequencer client name, which can be nasty, when trying to do a "connect 
by name".
  Would it be possible to consider theaeolus approach? First aeolus is named 
"aeolus" and then "-01" is appended to the next aeolus and I'd guess -02 to 
the third.
  The same would be nice for the JACK client name. For this there are several 
examples: linuxsampler (creating linuxsampler and linuxsampler1), ecasound is 
much more flexible, but then its purpose is different and there's the need for 
flexibility. Oh, I just saw: aeolus does the same for JACK-port naming.
  My aeolus is version 0.8.1 and I'm sure that LinuxSampler has done this for 
ages.
  Kindest regards
         Julien
