[PD] specify number of alsa midi out ports

[Iain Mott]

Hello again,

Is there a way to specify the number of ALSA MIDI Out ports (in Linux)
via the command line or using a command from within Pd?

I can specify this running "pd-extended -alsamidi" and selecting via the
GUI: Media-->Midi Settings... - but need to specify the number
automatically.

Thanks,

Iain
