Clients 0..63 are ALSA system clients, with fixed numbers (0=system broadcast/timer, 62=dummy, 63=OSS emulation). Clients 64..127 are devices on sound cards. There are 8 numbers per card: 64..71 = card 0, 72..79 = card 1, etc. Clients 128..191 are applications. An application gets the next free number. > for hardware or software devices even if are not started in the > same order? or if the number of devices is different? Hardware devices retain their number as long as the card number stays the same. Software devices can have a more or less random number; you have to identify them by name, or let the user select it. > I don't checkit ... but if it's not the same number, maybe could > be a good thing add some extra info in > 'snd_seq_client_info_get_name', card number? The name of rawmidi sequencer ports already contains the card number. > because if you have two same cards, client_info is the same for > both, PCI cards are initialized in some fixed order. > and port can be different each time you restart, if Plug&Play USB > cards works (I don't know ... ), Two _identical_ USB devices cannot be distinguished by the current driver, but it's possible if they have different product IDs.
