Er, yeah, sorry. It was right when I ran it.

Yes,
[swh at meta swh]$ ls  /dev/snd
controlC0  hwC0D0    pcmC0D0c  pcmC1D0c  seq
controlC1  midiC0D0  pcmC0D0p  pcmC1D0p  timer

I didn't have to use /dev/urandom, but I dont have any MIDI files, so it
seemed like an easy option.

I since found out that if im writing to the output I can sometimes make it
receive stuff (I think), the Rx number in /proc/asound/card0/midi0 goes up
anyway:

[swh at meta swh]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/midi0 
MPU-401 (UART)

Output 0
  Tx bytes     : 146134
Input 0
  Rx bytes     : 1001

Was 0, then 500, then 1001
