[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#519536: alsa-base: /dev/snd/seq is missing

[Sven Joachim]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.19.dfsg-1

After today's upgrade, the timidity init script fails:

,----
| # /etc/init.d/timidity restart 
| Stopping TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation....
| Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation...ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
| error in snd_seq_open
| .
`----

Manually loading the snd_seq kernel module fixes this, but why isn't it
loaded automatically anymore?
