Sockets do not accept more than one plug

See original GitHub issue

Hi, currently sockets do not accept more than one plug. However, I would like to be able to connect several plugs to a socket (e.g. for routing MIDI messages). I found an if statement in the accepts method of the SocketItem class (line 1833) which returns False if more than one plug is connected. However, uncommenting the corresponding line does not seem to do the trick. Can you give me a hint which lines of code I have to change?

Best, Hanno

This would be a nice feature so long as it could be enabled or disabled by an argument when creating a socket.

a quick and dirty solution is to comment out a few lines in the SlotItem.connect method.

#        if len(self.connected_slots) > 0:
#            # Already connected.
#            self.connections[0]._remove()
#            self.connected_slots = list()

without that sockets are like plugs.
