It's possible, but so far, no external plugin framework is implemented
for rawmidi.  The external plugins are available only for PCM and
control APIs.  I guess it'd be relatively easy to add the external
rawmidi plugins, though.

Another possibility is to write an ALSA sequencer client, and load
snd-virmidi driver.  Then you can connect to a rawmidi device as you 
like.
