Ugh, what do you mean? I'm first to admit that Ecasound does not a)
implement support for the ALSA sequencer API, and b) does not allow to
select subdevice numbers (only card and device). But AFAIK it does
correctly implement the rawmidi interface.

Oh well, current Ecasound CVS already has initial support for ALSA
sequencer support. A big thank you goes to Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas for the
implementation work. IOW, soon there's no need for snd-virmidi anymore for
to route MIDI from/to Ecasound and other apps.
