virmidi converts from ALSA sequencer packets to MIDI byte stream or vice versa. that is, virmidi enables you to read/write /dev/midiXX to access to alsa sequencer. what you wanted to do is a "routing" of sequencer ports, and that slightly differs from virmidi. for such a purpose, you can use a dummy sequencer client. (or, you can write such a user-space program in a minute :) just load snd-seq-dummy module, which will take the port 62:0. this port simply passes the incoming events to the outport port(s). please note that without duplex option it behaves as simplex. there is no distinction of in/out ports.
