Bug#836328: gsequencer: FTBFS on non-Linux: ALSA too old (1.0.5 vs. 1.0.25)

[Joël Krähemann]

Hi

I'm doing my best to port it. Most of the work has been fulfilled so far. I just
need to add a g_strv_length(), g_strv_contains() and snd_midi_event_decode()
replacement.

Since these functions aren't big it won't take too long. A bigger task would be
adding OSS output.

Bests,
Joël
