What is a standard name for switch to select internal or external midi?
It is very easy to
add such a functionality to the driver.
What do you mean exactly to switch int/ext midi? Usually the driver provides the interfaces for both, and let user choose. If they are exclusive, it's checked in the open. Or, if preferred, a control element can be used to choose the interface...
The driver interface (MPU-401 UART) is only one and there is a command to switch it to the on-board synthetizer or external midi (joysitck port on the card).
If it can be done on the fly without any conflict, I'd implement it as a control element. You can use iface=CARD to hide from mixer app, for example.
