No. I'm in the process of porting Nathan Laredo's playmidi-2.3
over to ALSA. I've only started and free time is at a premium,

Have a look in alsa-driver/test/seq/. You'll find some test programs, one
of which is a midi file player 'playmidi' written by Frank van de Pol.
The instructions for using it are in alsa-driver/kernel/seq/README.
