<pre>Ahh!, I was assuming that
$ lsmod | grep seq
snd_seq_device 5180 2 snd_rawmidi,snd_opl3_lib
snd 58893 8
snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_device,snd_cmipci,snd_opl3_lib
and the /dev/snd/seq device node existing was all I needed. Never ever realized
that I needed to *manually* modprobe snd_seq for it to actually start working.
The distro I was using before Arch had this setup out-of-the-box.
# modprobe snd_seq
$ getfacl /dev/snd/seq
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/snd/seq
# owner: root
# group: audio
user::rw-
user:miki:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---
Case closed, I think, and sorry for wasting your time...</pre>
