I'm having trouble getting "oss MIDI" (that is, access to /dev/midi*)
working in linux. Whereas in 0.53 I get choices "none", "/dev/midi3",
"/dev/midi4", "/dev/midi5", on 0.54 I get an extra entry, "(no
device)". When I select "midi4" for example, the next time I open the
dialog it shows "midi3". I think too that it' actually trying to open
midi3, not midi4.
See https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/2005 :-) I think
IOhannes is working on this.

Commits that might be of interest are
a0b74340313d26a430c145a421c7e5660b38d1cd (fixed off-by-one errors in
MIDI-dialog) and dfaba7072c0bdae2e97a94f91f0e0a11f97f6687 (handle
non-existing selection when showing midi devices) -- although these
are dated 2021 I appear to have only merged them for 0.54. I don't
know how to figure out what PR they came from.
Meanwhile one minor thing: when selecting "alsa midi" dialog the
number of devices comes up 0 and 0, even if I had set them to 2 and 2
in the command line ("-alsamidi -mididev 1,2") - this is minor except
that Pd unhelpfully closes the existing MIDI devices when the dialog
is started.
I'm scared to try to fix these as I'm sure I'll break something else
if i do :)
thanks
Miller
