aconnect - control subscriptions
ver.0.1.3

================================================================
aconnect is a utility to control subscriptions of two ports as the
third "manager" client.
For example, the following connects two ports, from 64:0 to 65:0.
% aconnect 64:0 65:0
To disconnect the existing subscription, use -d option.
% aconnect -d 64:0 65:0
To see which port is available as input port, run the following
command:
% aconnect -i
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
client 64: '0: MIDI Synth' [type=kernel]
0 'card 0: synth-midi: 0'
Similary, to see the output ports, use -o flag.
% aconnect -o
client 64: '0: MIDI Synth' [type=kernel]
0 'card 0: synth-midi: 0'
client 65: 'AWE Wave Table Synth : 0' [type=kernel]
0 'Emu8000 port 0 '
1 'Emu8000 port 1 '
2 'Emu8000 port 2 '
3 'Emu8000 port 3 '
The option -l together with -i or -o shows subscribers for each port.
Ports are connected exclusively when the option -e is specified.
For modifying time-stamp with a queue, use -r or -t option followed by
a queue index which updates the time-stamp. Former uses real-time queue,
while the latter uses tick queue. The queue must be used (not necessarily
owned) by the receiver client.
