aconnect - control subscriptions
ver.0.1.2
Copyright (C) 1999 Takashi Iwai
================================================================
aconnect is a utility to control subscriptions of two ports as the
third "manager" client.
For example, the following connects two ports, from 64:0 to 65:0.
% aconnect 64:0 65:0
To disconnect the existing subscription, use -d option.
% aconnect -d 64:0 65:0
To see which port is available as input port, run the following
command:
% aconnect -i
client 0: 'System' [group=system] [type=kernel]
0 'Timer ' [group=system]
1 'Announce ' [group=system]
client 64: '0: MIDI Synth' [group=] [type=kernel]
0 'card 0: synth-midi: 0' [group=device]
Similary, to see the output ports, use -o flag.
% aconnect -o
client 64: '0: MIDI Synth' [group=] [type=kernel]
0 'card 0: synth-midi: 0' [group=device]
client 65: 'AWE Wave Table Synth : 0' [group=device] [type=kernel]
0 'Emu8000 port 0 ' [group=device]
1 'Emu8000 port 1 ' [group=device]
2 'Emu8000 port 2 ' [group=device]
3 'Emu8000 port 3 ' [group=device]
Some ports may have permission for its own group.
In such a case, change the group of aconnect to the appropriate one by
using -g option.
The option -l together with -i or -o shows subscribers for each port.
The option -D specifies the sequencer device file (as default,
/dev/snd/seq). Usually, you don't have to change it.
The option -q specifies the queue number. The argument must be a
valid queue number, usually from 0 to 7.
