3.1 How can I output midi events to an external midi device?

Use artscontrol, go to the midi manager, choose add OSS midi output, type /dev/midi00 (or something else), and connect the Brahms entry to the newly created midi port.

3.2 How can I use aRts synthesis?

The easiest way is: use artscontrol, go to the midi manager, choose add aRts synthesis output, and choose arts_all. Connect the Brahms entry to the newly created synthesis instrument. You can change the instrument using the midi instrument selection in Brahms then.

Just look at existing plugins. Extending Brahms is really easy.
