I'm very sure, that ALSA is installed, otherwise you wouldn't have
sound at all. For whatever reason, on some systems the kernel modules
for the ALSA midi subsystem aren't properly loaded, this will lead to
this error. You can fix this on a running system by "sudo modprobe
snd-seq" and make it permanent by adding a line "snd-seq" to the file
"/etc/modules" to make the sequencer module load automatically after a
reboot on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu etc.)

Ciao
