No port names on ALSA

[aib]

On ALSA (asound), port names returned are of the form <client name> <client id>:<port id>. The cid:pid pair is unique, but this makes it hard to look for ports by name. Mentioned in #54, but I thought it would be better to move the discussion here.

Using these samples:

RtMidiOut midiOut;
midiOut.openVirtualPort("Testing123");

RtMidiIn midiIn;
for (unsigned int i=0; i<midiIn.getPortCount(); ++i) {
    std::cout << midiIn.getPortName(i) << std::endl;
}

I get,
on Jack: RtMidi Output Client:Testing123
on ALSA: RtMidi Output Client 129:0

By the way, what do the outputs look like in Windows and Mac OSX?

Can confirm that the names on OSX are the same names as entered when creating the virtual device. Looks like it's only an alsa issue

Just tested on ALSA and it seems for me that midiprobe is able to detect the virtual port opened in another process without issues. Assuming fixed.
