[fluid-dev] Auto-connect ALSA MIDI input patch

[Tommaso Cucinotta]

Hi all,

first of all, thanks for the effort of all contributors to the excellent 
fluidsynth+qsynth :-)!

While using QSynth+fluidsynth mostly as a hobbist, I came across this need for
reconnecting the ALSA MIDI input to QSynth/fluidsynth everytime I restart the 
engine.

So I worked out the attached patch that adds a bool setting for auto-connecting 
ALSA
MIDI inputs. This is the dual of the "Auto-connect JACK outputs" already there 
in
fluidsynth/QSynth.

If this makes sense, I'd follow up with a corresponding patch to QSynth to set 
this
property when instantiating the fluidsynth engine.

Feel free to try out the attached patch, and please, share your 
comments/thoughts!

Thanks,

        Tommaso
