NAME
     a2jmidid - JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI

SYNOPSIS
     a2jmidid [-j jack-server] [e | --export-hw]

DESCRIPTION
     a2jmidid is a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA se-
     quencer port you get one jack midi port. If ALSA sequencer port is both in-
     put and output one, you get two JACK MIDI ports, one input and output.

OPTIONS
     -e | --export-hw
	    forces a2jmidid to bridge hardware ports as well as software ports

     -u     forces a2jmidid to generate non-unique port names (see NOTES)

     -j     specifies which jack-server to use

NOTES
     ALSA  does  not guarantee client names to by unique. I.e. it is possible to
     have two apps that create two clients with same  ALSA  client  name.   JACK
     however requires port names to be unique. To ensure this uniqueness, a2jmi-
     did will add the unique numeric ALSA client ID to the JACK port name.  How-
     ever  this  behaviour is known to be problematic when restoring connections
     using simplistic tools like aj-snapshot and jack_connect.	In order to make
     them work, the -u option can be used. This option will  cause  a2jmidid  to
     omit  the	numeric ALSA Client ID from JACK port names.  In this mode, ALSA
     client name uniqueness must be guaranteed externally.
