udev should generate the device for you. As John O'Hagan already
suggested, try to modprobe snd_seq and snd_seq_midi. If that works
without errors the device should be created. If that goes wrong post the
error messages, the output of
dpkg -l udev hotplug
and the relevant part of lspci so that we know which hardware we are
talking about.
