the reason was that many rawmidi devices give the same name even if
there are many.  for example, mpu401 sets only "MPU-401 (UART)" as its
name.
although the card can be distinguished by the client number, it would
be better to be able to know only from its name string.

but it's true that this isn't the case for USB midi...
