good.

good (whatever the source of your background noise is; probably there is
some hardware mixer that connects an open input to the output)

well.
you have connected the MIDI-out of Pd to the MIDI-sink of your soundcard.
i would expect that this means that you are sending the MIDI data to the
"MIDI-out" jack on your soundcard.
if you have connected a synth to the MIDI-out of your soundcard, than
you should hear something.
i don't know whether your soundcard has a built-in synth, but if so, you
probably have to load a soundfont or similar first (if it work on linux
at all; i have no experience withsuch things).

if you have neither external synth nor built-into-your-soundcard synth,
you can as well run a software synth, e.g. timidity.
