what happened to /dev/snd/seq

Something happened to it in the new release. It was there in 3.1 by default.
I looked for a missing alsa package module to load, or maybe the right kernel module to load. Nothing jumps out.
Thanks!

^ All PulseAudio now. However PulseAudio will honour Alsa requets AFAIK.

Pulseaudio? I kind of thought pulseaudio sat on top on alsa so to speak. In this new 3.2.2, alsa still exists. I am not really sure what you mean.
Really, it's fluidsynth I am trying to use with jack audio. Without /dev/snd/seq, fluidsynth can't run as a system-wide midi device. And jack's midi capability has been crippled.

Hey thanks for the help everyone.
I do see that pulseaudio is now part of slackware. That is new.
Guess though, I found my problem... I thought I looked at this simple solution but i was hasty.
The kernel doesn't have the snd-seq built in so I had to install the module:
As root,
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq
brings back the sequencer device.
