The sequencer here is the sequencer device:
/proc/asound/dev/seq or the same at /dev/snd/sequencer
It's a higher-level interface to control all kinds of midi events. The
programmer of a midi software can use this or the raw midi devices
/dev/midiXX, /dev/snd/midiXX,...
*Very* simply said: You can think of it as a device port like the
/dev/psaux device for ps/2-mouses: You maybe don't need its support right
now, if you don't have a ps/2 mouse, but you will miss it, if you buy one.
