I don't think the examples have been updated since 0.2, where the
note_in modules would actually add a MIDI port to the patch. Now you
need to add a midi_input module as well and connect it to the note_in.

No, Om has nothing to do with device files. It only uses ALSA sequencer
ports (the ones that appear in qjackctl or patchage) or JACK MIDI.
