have you reported a bug?
if it's reproducible, it might be fixable as well...

yes.
that's why i'm talking about logical MIDI ports rather than physical
ports.
i assume that these logical ports do not suffer from timing problem
(as the serial link speed of MIDI does not apply).

as cyrille has pointed out, OSS MIDI is really fading out of linux
distros.

but in any case, if you are specifying multiple MIDI devices and all
are merged within Pd, this sounds like a bug to me (though i might be
wrong), as this is inconsistent with e.g. ALSA MIDI, where you get a
new "port" (with a new range of 16 channels).
