=== MIDI device configuration ===
=== MIDI device configuration ===
Right now, the MIDI drivers are treated by ScummVM in a rather single minded fashion: Either a driver is linked in and hence "available", or not. It's not possible to configure anything about them (like ports to be used etc.), nor does it ever take into account that a single driver might correspond to multiple devices (after all, you can plug several sequenecers into your MIDI port; or you could have configured several different sound font settings in your MIDI emulator). Hence, this needs to be enhanced:
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
* An API is needed to query the OSystem backend for a list of available MIDI *devices*, not drivers
 
* These devices should be configurable via the GUI; this needs to be done in a flexible (different devices/drivers offer different settings) and portable fashion.

'''The Task:'''
* Add an API for querying the OSystem backend for a list of available MIDI devices (not drivers)
* Information about the selected device must be serializable, so that it can be stored in the config file
* Selection of devices via command line should be possible
* It must deal with devices being added/removed (at least between runs of ScummVM, ideally also while ScummVM is running)
* Devices should be configurable via the GUI; this needs to be done in a flexible (different devices/drivers offer different settings) and portable fashion.
