The Virtual Raw MIDI driver converts between sequencer ports (x:y) and the old OSS raw MIDI ports (/dev/midixx). Any data sent to port 24:0 can be read from /dev/midi02, and any data sent to /dev/midi02 can be read from 24:0. Your "aseqdump -p 24:0" command would display data sent by Csound (if Csound is connected to /dev/midi02). To see data sent to port 24:0, use a command like "hexdump < /dev/midi02".
