And when you access /dev/sequencer, the module
should be loaded, or there
is an error message written to /var/log/messages.
Correct, accessing /dev/sequencer loads the module and /dev/snd/seq appears,
but shouldn't the Alsa seq module be loaded automatically on startup? Alsa apps won't try to access /dev/sequencer
before they actually open
/dev/snd/seq, right? Thus, no Alsa app will work after a reboot
without me having loaded the Alsa seq module manually (or having
accessed /dev/sequencer).
The ALSA sequencer is accessed through the ALSA library, and the library
will access /dev/aloadSEQ if /dev/snd/seq isn't found. So, when using ALSA
applications, the sequencer will be loaded transparently.
