Device issue?

[KingWolf]

Hello~

I am running into an issue.

It seems I cannot use a device for multiple plugins. I wouldn't normally mind that fact, but for some reason, my system likes to randomly re-order my MIDI devices, causing all of my FX plugins' output devices get shifted since the order they appear in the device list changes. I can eventually fix it, but it is super obnoxious. OpenMPT isn't the only program I see affected by this issue, and I wish I could figure out a real fix on the system itself, but is there a way to programmatically prevent that? Asking for both openMPT sake, and my programs as well. Usually, if I catch it and don't save any changes to the module, I can close and reopen the program, and be unaffected, but sometimes I save out of sheer habit, and then I have to manually change all of the FX output devices again (oops!)

There's some improvements coming in OpenMPT 1.32 that should prevent a few issues with device reordering, not sure if it will help in your case. You can try a test build at https://builds.openmpt.org/builds/ and give feedback if it helps you.

The source of the reordering problem is probably to be found in whatever virtual MIDI routing software you are using. MIDI devices normally don't just magically reorder themselves, so it might be worth reporting this to the author of that software. With hardware MIDI devices, the list can be reordered if devices are connected and disconnected, but I don't see a reason why virtual devices should do this, so it could be a bug in the software.
