Normally "client 72" is mapped to /dev/midi2.

the symlink ?

Normally it isn't a symlink, but it can be. Could you post: $ ls -l /dev/midi* /dev/snd/

To access it from Pd, use "pd -mididev 3" (because 3=2+1)

not functioning :(

Maybe on your machine it's available as /dev/midi20 in which case you can try "pd -mididev 21". Also try several other numbers here. Midi is a mystery. ;)

If you're an early adopter, you might want to test Pablo's new ALSA seqnecer patches for Pd. Links should be in pd-dev and they also were posted in the pure-data.sf.net patch tracker.

modprobe snd-virmidi gives

FATAL: Error inserting snd_virmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-virmidi.ko): No such device

beside the two soundcards it is not possible to install virmidi. Yast is telling me I/o or IRQ conflicts.

Strange. I'm no Suse expert at all, but snd-virmidi should not generate any IRQ problems: it's a virtual card without IRQs. Maybe you miss some device files in /dev/? Strange, normally Suse has quite good ALSA support (as the ALSA team is employed at Suse).
