Should be the same with amidi though if it only works with raw MIDI devices. vir-midi creates virtual hardware devices that can be selected as outputs from programs that only support raw MIDI, and makes them appear as ALSA devices that you can connect via QJackCtl, etc.. If you've read the linked bug report, you'll also notice I suggest to use a2jmidid which then makes the virtual hardware devices appear as JACK MIDI devices. You can try setting JSynthLib or amidi to play to one of the virtual hardware outputs. IIRC this then loops back to the input device which you can connect to whatever you want. Hope that makes sense.
