[PD] MIDI connection problem with commandline-parameters

[cornicis]

Hi all,

I have a strange problem since upgrading my Raspberry Pi 2 to Debian
Jessie and PureData 0.46.7: MIDI stopped working on pd-startup by
setting the commandline-parameters.

In detail:
An Arduino MIDI-Controller is connected via USB to the RPi2. No changes
have been made to this, and MIDI send seems to work in ALSA.
Some data to proof:

$ ls /dev/midi*
/dev/midi1

$ aconnect -l
Client 0: 'System' [Typ=Kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
Client 14: 'Midi Through' [Typ=Kernel]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
Client 20: 'Arduino Leonardo' [Typ=Kernel]
    0 'Arduino Leonardo MIDI 1'

Pressing buttons and listening:
$ aseqdump -p 20
Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.
Source  Event                  Ch  Data
 20:0   Note on                 1, note 45, velocity 64
 20:0   Note off                1, note 45, velocity 64
 20:0   Note on                 1, note 45, velocity 64
 20:0   Note off                1, note 45, velocity 64
[...]

Hence my Raspberry gets the sent midi notes from the Arduino.

However, starting puredata with "puredata -d 3 -verbose -nogui -alsamidi
-midiindev 1  -listdev puredata/miditest.pd" won't get any MIDI input 
(miditest.pd is just printing incoming midi notes).

$ puredata -d 3 -verbose -nogui -alsamidi -midiindev 1  -listdev
puredata/miditest.pd

By using "aconnect 20, 128" manually after Alsa-Client gets openend in
PD I can connect the MIDI controller and get MIDI input printed:

I tried various parameter combinations for -midiindev and even tried the
new -midiaddindev but no success. This leaves me clueless, has any
configuration changed? I'm compiling 0.46.7 right now and draw some hope
from that (using these steps:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2014-11/108543.html), but I
wonder why noone else seems to have this problem. I guess I missed
something...
Sorry for the extensive data, I hope it's helpful at least.

Cheers,
Daniel
