ALSA's device nodes are handled by the framework.

There is no MIDI driver that converts MIDI from/to something entirely
different.  However, since the tranzport MIDI messages correspond 1:1
to USB packets, it would be possible to treat this protocol like any of
the other USB MIDI protocols handled by usbmidi.c.

The existing USB MIDI driver already handles most of device detection
and URB handling; if you choose to integrate with it, you would lose
the 'raw' interface.

You could also write a driver that offers both 'raw' and ALSA MIDI
interfaces.

It would also be possible to write a userspace daemon that provides an
ALSA sequencer port to access the 'raw' driver.

The ALSA list cares only about ALSA drivers.  :)
