Get it working on a raspberry pi #8

I have a raspberry pi 🎉. It'd be great to get brain working on it. It looks like Patchbox OS might be worth investigating because it comes with supercollider pre-installed (the compilation instructions for the pi look a bit involved), and has some handy audio-specific stuff.

I've noticed that o2m uses the device name in its message format (because a new MIDI port is created based on the name of the device when connected over USB). This name is different by default in OS X (atom) compared to using ALSA on the Raspberry Pi (atom_midi_1). I imagine it is possible to configure or change this at the OS level, but I think it'd be simpler to be able to pass it to the sequencer at boot (as a command line option or using a config file).
