Timidity as ALSA sequencer client: doesn't work after upgrade to kernel 2.6.15

I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.15 via Synaptic and I am not able to run timidity as an ALSA sequencer client anymore. Here is the error I get:

Code:

TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:455:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
error in snd_seq_open

Here is the command I used: timidity -iA -Od -B8,2

It used to work before in kernel 2.6.11

Solved. Required to load snd_seq module.

Code:

modprobe snd_seq

Added it to /etc/modules to autoload now. Timidity now works as ALSA device. Hope this helps somebody!
