[PD] Pd, pipewire, and MIDI

[Samuel Burt]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, IOhannes.

I have qpwgraph. It shows my hardware as alsa and pipewire MIDI ports. I
suppose Pd would show MIDI ports if I compile it with the right flags?
Because Pd is showing /dev/midi1, I'm assuming that my current config is
still giving me OSS ports instead of ALSA.

Here's my current configuration:

./configure --enable-jack --disable-oss --disable-portaudio --enable-alsa

Is there a separate flag for alsa-midi? I don't see any other relevant
flags in ./configure --help.

Sam

Typically you would use ALSA-MIDI (instead of the default OSS-MIDI),
and connect Pd with your devices via some external application like
qjackctl, qpwctl (if I remember the name correctly), or good olde
aconnect.
