Run updates earlier and now MIDI applications no longer have permissions to use /dev/snd/seq. Seems while other devices within /dev/snd are in the audio group, /dev/snd/seq is not. I'm not sure what is the root cause.

This is more likely related to udev 169/170 than it is the kernel update.
Any ideas on where to look to start figuring out the [probable misconfiguration] problem? /etc/udev/rules.d only has two files: 10-local.rules and 70-infrared.rules.

I submitted a bug report:

It seems the /dev/snd/seq node is created earlier than others in /dev/snd. The suggested work-a-round is to add snd_seq to the modules array.
