A virmidi port has two ends: a rawmidi port and a sequencer port.
Anything written to the rawmidi device will be sent to all ports connnected
to the sequencer port, but cannot be read back from /dev/midi?.
Any messages arriving at the sequencer port can be read from the rawmidi
device, but are not sent to any other sequencer port.
The virtual MIDI ports convert between old
programs using /dev/midi*
and new programs using ALSA sequencer ports. They do not connect
ALSA sequencer programs together; use the through ports for this.
I'm not sure I understand that. I've been connecting ALSA sequencer
clients with the virmidi ports for years. I can send a screenshot of my
MIDI connections in QJackCtl, with virmidi ports connected to QSynth,
Jack Rack, the Emu10k1 synth, etc. But I may misunderstand what you're
telling me. I think you can
achieve what you want by connecting a virmidi port and a
through port together.
Been there, tried that, got no joy. :( From where to where to you want MIDI messages to be
routed?
