31       -p, --port=client:port,...
32              Sets the sequencer port(s) to  which  the  events  in  the  MIDI
33              file(s) are sent.
34
35              A  client  can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix
36              of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of  a
37              client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted.
38
39              Multiple  ports  can  be  specified  to  allow  playback of MIDI
40              file(s) that contain events for  multiple  devices  (ports),  as
41              specified by "Port Number" meta events.
42
43              For compatibility with pmidi(1), the port specification is taken
44              from the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable if none is given
45              on the command line.
46
47
48       -d, --delay=seconds
49              Specifies  how  long to wait after the end of each MIDI file, to
50              allow the last notes to die away.

BUGS

54       aplaymidi handles "Port Number" meta events, but not "Port  Name"  meta
55       events.
