It will be loaded on startup if there is a startup script that loads it. Creating such a script is the responsibility of the distribution or the system administrator. >:-) > Alsa apps won't try to access /dev/sequencer before they actually open > /dev/snd/seq, right?

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. HTH Clemens
