there is the name field for each rawmidi substream, and the sequencer
looks up this string.

this reminds me the former patch by Clemens, and i've forgotten to
check this issue until now.  sorry.

i modified the sequencer part (and mpu401_uart) on the cvs so that the
sequencer retrieves the rawmidi name string if the substream name is
not defined.

so, you don't have to change the hdsp code any more.
