Bug Description

On opening Pure Data (multimedia application), I get the following error:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
Segmentation fault

Is tseems it is an ALSA problem. Any ideas?
I don't know if this has any relation with the other bug I've found (see bug #13877)
Thanks in advance

The driver for your MIDI sequencer device isn't being loaded.

Attach the output from:

- dmesg

Your output for lspci was actually a duplicate of the dmesg output. Can you
resend the lspci -v and lspci -vn output please?

Also, would you mind testing the Colony 5 live or install CD's, or latest breezy?

I am running the latest breezy, and the problem seems to have disappeared. I had
some problems configuring JACK through QjackCtl, but I have solved them. It
seems I am unable to use JACK in realtime :( . It would be cool to see some
kernel patches in the repository optimized for multimedia production ;)
I am going to change the status for this bug to fixed, since in Breezy things
are working well and it's just a matter of upgrading.
Thanks and keep the good work :D
