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
       sequencer  port	you  get one jack midi port. If	ALSA sequencer port is
       both input 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  unique-
       ness,  a2jmidid	will add the unique numeric ALSA client	ID to the JACK
       port name.  However 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.
