I tried running:
a2jmidid -e


et voila! I can select rumor from the VMPK midi configuration menu.

I have always found Audio, MIDI connections, ALSA-midi, JACK-midi on Linux hard 
to understand subjects, and still sometimes have to struggle using a 
trial&error method without knowing what and why I am doing things ..

Anyway, in this case give a2jmidid a try.
