Wonderful news, that would be most welcome :-)

It has implications for -M, because those arguments could be
strings, and could even be multiple, e.g.:

 -M ProKeys
 -M ProKeys,Keystation
 -M ProKeys,Keystation,14:1

I hope this will be OK ?   You call parse_address() once your
client is running, and it converts each string to an addr struct
(addr->client and addr->port) in a way that's compatible with
everything else in alsa-midi, e.g.
  aconnect ProKeys Roland
  aplaymidi -p TiM x.mid
  midichord -Q -f 0,1 -a 4,5 -i 14:0,Pro -o 14:1,TiMidity

Thanks, regards,
