Now I can see how rawmidi private_free is set up to release the
resources, but what concerns me is that at the moment of endpoint/port
creation umidi is not yet added to the midi_list.
In other words, what I see is that we still have just one local
pointer to umidi if any of snd_usbmidi_create_endpoint* fail.
Am I missing something?
