Normally it isn't a symlink, but it can be. Could you post:
$ ls -l /dev/midi* /dev/snd/

Maybe on your machine it's available as /dev/midi20 in which case you
can try "pd -mididev 21". Also try several other numbers here. Midi is
a mystery. ;)
If you're an early adopter, you might want to test Pablo's new ALSA
seqnecer patches for Pd. Links should be in pd-dev and they also were
posted in the pure-data.sf.net patch tracker.

Strange. I'm no Suse expert at all, but snd-virmidi should not
generate any IRQ problems: it's a virtual card without IRQs. Maybe you
miss some device files in /dev/? Strange, normally Suse has quite good
ALSA support (as the ALSA team is employed at Suse).
