I discovered that on plugging in a USB MIDI device, the module
snd_seq_device is loaded, bringing with it the dependency snd_rawmidi. This
would suffice for apps which use the raw MIDI interface, but not the
sequencer MIDI interface. I have always used the latter, and until
recently this has worked.
I think that if the snd_seq_midi module could be loaded at the same time,
using the same mechanism as the snd_seq_device module gets loaded, that
would be the optimal solution.

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: normal
Kernel modules snd_seq and snd_seq_midi are no longer loaded at boot in
Debian
unstable.
I apologize if this is the wrong package; this functionality was formerly
implemented in alsa-base, but that is a dummy package now. I believe this
continued to work for some time after the alsa-base implementation went
away
though, so I think this functionality was maintained in the switch but
recently
became broken.
The mentioned drivers (modules) should be loaded dynamically by kmod
if required from a midi device.
Please test it.
