[PD] Recognizing USB MIDI interfaces on Pd 0.48.1 (Debian 9.5)

[Ingo]

It was working fine on Pd-extended.
Once you opened the midi dialog or sent a pd-message with the settings new 
MIDIinterfaces were there.

I was monitoring the /dev/ folder every 2 or 3 seconds to see if midi1, midi2, 
midi3 or midi 4 was present or better has changed.
If a change happened I sent the message with the MIDI setup to Pd and the new 
devices were there.

e.g. [pd midi-dialog 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4  4 4(	meaning open input 1,2,3 and 4 and 
output 1,2,3 and 4.
(1st 4 digits are inputs, 2nd four digits are outputs, then number of midi ins 
and number of midi outs)

Now this doesn't do anything anymore.
