Hi,

this is what happens for

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si linux | grep Ver; uname -rm
Version        : 3.19.3-3
3.19.3-3-ARCH x86_64

[1]

and

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ uname -rm
3.18.9-rt5-2-rt x86_64

[2]

So there seemingly is a serious issue on my machine too, but it's not
related to snd_seq_midi, since it's not needed, as you can see by [2]
before the USB devices are connected.

Regards,
Ralf

Indeed, with and without USB devices connected aconnect -i doesn't see
my MIDI devices, neither the PCI/PCIe, nor the USB devices.

Ralf, thanks for checking.

The problem with snd_seq_midi no longer being automatically added appears to be a kernel issue. The Arch bug report has been re-opened:
<https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44286>

You indicate that snd_seq_midi is not important on your system. I'm guessing that perhaps you're using "raw" MIDI input instead of "seq".

I have a workaround and will monitor the bug report for a permanent resolution. Thanks to all who responded.
