I don't know this is the answer of your problem but VirtualMidi create device 
in 
/dev/midi/* or just create BMidiEndPoint, if it don't that won't work because 
our code 
send data to *file* that represent hardware EndPoint. But I will try to 
download 
VirtualMidi and see if that work with my computer.

That really a better idea I will made it.
