Hi Clemens,
Just some added information. We connected a Kurzweil
K2000R to the 8x8 port 7 and are able to control
information going to that device. So the routing
aspects are working. It's just the /dev/snd/midiC1D0
file that's not happening.

There's no messages passing through

This file handles all nine ports. The ALSA library
uses a magic IOCTL to
select the desired port; when you access the file
directly, you get the
first port only.
If possible, you should use a program that can
access MIDI ports via the
ALSA library (the 8x8's ports would be named
"hw:1,x", x = 0..8).
If you want to access other MIDI ports than the
first with a device file,
you have to load the snd-virmidi driver, which will
give you some virtual
MIDI ports, and to connect these ports to the 8x8's
ports with aconnect.
HTH
