[Bug 11177] New: winealsa doesn't assign unique MIDI port names

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11177

Summary: winealsa doesn't assign unique MIDI port names
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20050628
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=333361
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: _obsolete_multimedia
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Currently, when mapping ALSA MIDI ports to Windows MIDI port names, winealsa
uses the port's client name, which is not unique and may cause some programs to
get confused. A user is suggesting using the ALSA port name, which I suspect
can be acquired by e.g. replacing snd_seq_client_info_get_name(cinfo) in midi.c
with snd_seq_port_info_get_name(pinfo). You could also append a number to the
client name, or whatever else it takes to make the name unique.

You sure you using the specified Wine version? Please don't use obsoleted
components.

That's the version in the Debian bug (yes it's old). I've checked and it has
never been fixed, though, so I figured may as well use it.

As for the component, I had to use _obsolete_multimedia, because none of the
"non-obsolete" categories were relevant. MIDI is *not* DirectX and never will
be, it's a winmm part, introduced long before DirectX existed, and still
independent of DirectX, implementing functionality that don't exist in DirectX
(MIDI, CD audio, mixer API, high-resolution timers, etc).

Setting to "unknown" then until an appropriate component exists, that doesn't
sound too obsolete.
