It isn't possible to automatically determine which of the ports has a working synthesizer. I don't think you can avoid asking the user which port to use. And many computers with integrated motherboard sound chips don't have a synthesizer, so you'd have to use a software synthesizer, which is available only as an ALSA sequencer port. Using the sequencer would make your program more flexible, too. The ALSA sequencer isn't documented very well, either, but you could begin with this short HOWTO: <http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg08905.html> <http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg09011.html> (If you want to send an event immediately, schedule it at a relative time of 0.)
