devfsd is not supposed to create device files. It merely creates links
for the device files and does a lot of other things when the kernel
creates or destroys device entries on devfs or when a userspace program
looks for an entry.
So you should look for a midi device that already exists when the driver
is loaded. Check that it works and then instruct devfs to create a link
to the old location if you want.
I haven't worked with sound for a long time. I think the file you are
looking for should appear under /dev/sound if using OSS or under
/dev/asound is using ALSA.
