I have tried creating this rule:

/etc/udev/rules.d/40-seq.rules
   KERNEL=="snd/seq",      GROUP="audio", MODE="0666"

...but I'm not sure about the kernel key pair. I have tried matching 
"/dev/snd/seq" and just "seq"
aswell.

The Bug 406871 for sys-fs/udev-171-r5 looks exactly right, butI have 
sys-fs/udev-171-r6 installed. I''l check my kernel config and try disabling 
tmpfs. I have read that it helps real time audio performanc with 
jack(audio-connection-kit)though.

I have tried removing all the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. but the mode and 
permissions on /dev/snd/seq persist.

Thanks for everyones help.

Ah, yes, I did a quick search on b.g.o and found this:

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406871

So my comment is wrong, it doesn't have anything to do with devtmpfs, but udev
upstream did fix it :) .
