Can you post any error messages you get from the terminal? Are
you sure /dev/snd/midiC0D0 is the right device?  Also, make sure
that the <Option name="midi-port" value="hw:0"> has the correct
value.  Another option is to try the alsa seq port, by substituting
seq for hw:0 in the <Option name="midi-port" ...> tag.  This is
the case where you would then use qjackctl (or other) to patch
your hw midi port to ardour's.
