Pd works fine with the ALSA (raw-)midi devices. With a virtual midi
card (snd-virmidi) and a bit of "aconnect"ing one can also use more
than one device in Pd and do connections between software. Technically
this routing is already done by the alsa sequencer without Pd knowing
it.

See my chapter in the Linux-MIDI-Howto.
