I haven't seen any of this prior discussion, but if you list snd_seq_midi in
/etc/modules it'll autoload at boot time. It's not a clean solution but it 
works.

You have to see where the modules are loading to make it neat. Is it hotplug, 
is it the alsa start up script, what have you. Whether it's 2.4 or 2.6 kernel 
makes a difference in how that happens and where the config info is pulled 
from as well.

I'd have to check details but it's more like you have to specify that you want 
the sequencer option when you set up alsa. Not talking about the compile time 
option, which would mess one up on a source built ALSA, but the module 
params.
