Thanks! this works! I didn't gave virmidi a shot before, but i think it is a 
good solution: i can use both ports of my USB devices with OSS programs.

BTW, there is a little problem with this module:

# modinfo snd-virmidi
filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-virmidi.o
description: "Dummy soundcard for virtual rawmidi devices"
author:      "Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>"
parm:        index int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Index value for 
virmidi soundcard."
parm:        id string array (min = 1, max = 8), description "ID string for 
virmidi soundcard."
parm:        enable int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable this 
soundcard."
parm:        midi_devs_Rb3ae63d0 int array (min = 1, max = 8), description 
"MIDI devices # (1-8)"

"midi_devs" is a versioned symbol belonging to OSS Free 
(linux/drivers/sound/dev_table.h) and i compiled my kernel with versioned 
symbols and OSS/free drivers.
Some releases ago this param was named "snd_midi_devs". Can we rename it 
again? Are there more clashes?

Regards,
Pedro
