It is used both by the sequencer layer (maybe this is optional now?) and
the timer.
The alsa timer dependency can easily be worked around if there is some
other timer available. I don't know much about bsd, does it have a
compatible RTC device? If so the alsa timer can simply be removed.

I have tried getting into a usable state several times over the years but
never gotten past proof of concept status.
I had it running sometime last year by commenting out all alsa stuff and
using the Dummy timer as a temporary timer substitute.
