btw: is there a way to list available clients/ports from the api.
I know that aconnect -i / -o does this, but is there a c/c++ function?

The functions are: snd_seq_query_next_client() and snd_seq_query_next_port();
you need to loop calling these functions while they return a correct answer.
For instance, this is the relevant code in "aconnect.c" :
static void do_search_port(snd_seq_t *seq, int perm, action_func_t do_action)
{
snd_seq_client_info_t *cinfo;
snd_seq_port_info_t *pinfo;
int count;
snd_seq_client_info_alloca(&cinfo);
snd_seq_port_info_alloca(&pinfo);
snd_seq_client_info_set_client(cinfo, -1);
while (snd_seq_query_next_client(seq, cinfo)>= 0) {
/* reset query info */
snd_seq_port_info_set_client(pinfo,
snd_seq_client_info_get_client(cinfo));
snd_seq_port_info_set_port(pinfo, -1);
count = 0;
while (snd_seq_query_next_port(seq, pinfo)>= 0) {
if (check_permission(pinfo, perm)) {
do_action(seq, cinfo, pinfo, count);
count++;
}
}
}
}
See:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=blob;f=seq/aconnect/aconnect.c
I guess you already know the reference documentation site:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/seq.html
Just for comparison, a similar enumeration using Drumstick looks like this:
QListIterator<PortInfo> it(m_Client->getAvailableOutputs());
while(it.hasNext()) {
PortInfo p = it.next();
cout<< p.getClientName()<< ":"<< p.getPort();
}
Thanks,
I was thinking that maybe it would be nicer to connect from my program
to Hydrogen.
Then I don't have to restart Hydrogen everytime my program has ended.
See Drumstick's example "drumgrid":
