I just compiled alsa-lib, alsa-tools and alsa-utils 1.0.11 on a new Debian Etch amd64 installation and keep getting the following error message from apps that try to connect to the sequencer: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory can't open sequencer This is with Debian 2.6.15-1 kernel and with kernel.org 2.6.16.20 (compiled using Debian .config but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y).

The kernel config contains the following: # Linux kernel version: 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp ...

Everything (jackd, Ardour) works fine except the sequencer. Although this is AMD64 SMP the RTCs sync properly (two single core Opterons, not dual core). Any ideas?
