I did not find a way to make this the default behaviour, so it was a bit annoying to select the output every time; but it was probably my fault for not having digged too deep in the docs. Furthermore, it is my understanding that the "portal" file system probably allows you to connect a name in the filesystem to a process so that you can make "/dev/sequencer" redirect to a process running "timdity" and have a software synthesizer (OSS has a product like this). The concept of portal is very nice the only unknown is that I have no idea how much of it really works having never used it.
