If pmidi worked, then alsa works too: it's just a different
way of specifing devices

Try
$amidi -l

to list devices and then

-Mhw:1,0

etc to select them. I only use alsa midi on Linux and it works
very well, including with virtual devices (soft connections).

I believe Victor meant "use -+rtmidi=alsa". Then use the -Mhw:0,0 
specifier for the appropriate ALSA device.

Works for me. :)
