I had a go at this (for yoshimi) and can confirm the same results.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about Midish, and the only error report it
seems to give is that it can't connect to the alsa port, but doesn't say which
one - even though yoshimi reports it as connected.
Also, it doesn't seem to actually create 'test_track' anywhere that I can find,
so I don't know what that is supposed to do.
I do know yoshimi works perfectly correctly with aplaymidi and handles all MIDI
messages.
Sorry I can't give more help.
Will.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
