Hi!
I opened a MIDI connection with...
snd_rawmidi_open(&read_handle, &write_handle, "virtual", 0);
But how do i set a useful name on it, that can be seen in other programs?

You don't.
The RawMIDI API was designed for 'real' hardware devices, which already
have a name.
To create a virtual MIDI port, you should use the sequencer API.
