If you were using the Tracks -> Remap Instruments function, then yes, 
there was a nasty bug in that in 0.9 -- one of the handful of bad 
bugs we've fixed in preparation for the upcoming point release.

But it should have been possible to change the "connection" for the 
MIDI devices so as to make them point to the piano -- call up the 
Studio -> Manage MIDI Devices dialog, and using the dropdown 
corresponding to the device your tracks are playing to, select the 
name of the connection you want (from the list of ALSA port names -- 
at some point you have to know the ALSA port name for your device, 
regardless of what else you do).

The rest of your email is one of those standard ALSA questions that I 
can never remember the answer to, I fear.  And as for whether you 
should join the rg-user list, I'd say probably yes -- but I'm a RG 
developer, so I would say that.
