Rosegarden MIDI out port names not showing in the Pipewire MIDI bridge

Hi all,

So pipewire provides a 'midi bridge' from ALSA MIDI to JACK MIDI 
out-of-the-box, which is quite cool for example to connect Rosegarden 
to, say, Carla or Ardour.

Problem is that it doesn't seem to pick up the names assigned within 
Rosegarden (as a2jmidid seems to, albeit not being able to detect name 
changes); all ports are just listed as 'out 1 - unnamed', 'out 2 - 
unnamed', etc.

I've tested for instance with Pure Data MIDI outs and Qtractor MIDI 
'buses' (both also using ALSA MIDI, and the names seem to be picked up 
by the pipewire MIDI bridge.

Yet, I'm not 100% if the culprit is Rosegarden or pipewire... Any ideas?
