<pre>To add just one more thing:
I don't know if it is due to the "static_node" stuff or if the kernel really
does create /dev/snd/seq even before the snd_seq kernel module is loaded,
anyway, it would be nice if the error message that started all this had been
something like
"/dev/snd/seq: No such file or directory"
instead of:
"/dev/snd/seq: Permission denied"
The former would have me go looking for missing kernel modules, hardware
problems etc. immediately, the latter sent me down this twisting path...
Just my 2 cents.</pre>
