Even though the help file states that newByName is “also Linux compatible” it never worked for me on Linux. Wrote about it in this post a while ago. I don’t know why, but you still need to do the alsa connections manually it seems. I wrote this little class extension to MIDIOut (based on some code from @ludo) some weeks ago. Seems to work fine so far, but feedback is welcome of course.
