Neither ecasound nor gmidimon support MIDI with ALSA correctly.
As a workaround, load the snd-virmidi driver (which make another
/dev/midi* available) and connect its sequencer port to the UM2's

When an application tries to open the internal ALSA device node
(/dev/snd/midiCxDx), it will get the first free subdevice, i.e., the
first port that isn't already in use.
