Check out
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/index.html
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/MIDI.html
but what you _really_ want is Patricio Paez' alsaseq and alsamidi
   http://pp.com.mx/python/alsaseq
which I translated into Lua and Perl:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/midialsa.html
  http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?MIDI::ALSA
although by now my translations have developed slightly
more features and fewer quirks than the original...

Hope this helps,
Peter
