That's what is used for example in the "Can of Beats" scene for RjDj that still
is a huge success with the listeners:

Getting repeatable random numbers also has its use, though. For example in the
EA/Maxis game "Spore" random numbers with repeated seeds are the base for a lot
of the procedural music generated.
