The .pdextended file has a flags parameter at the bottom which accepts 
the usual command line flags.

For alsa-midi this is what I have in my .pdextended:

flags: -alsamidi -midiindev 0 -midioutdev 0

Drawback is that it will auto-connect to all alsa-midi stuff available 
in and out (but that happens anyway when you select alsa-midi)
