Bugzilla Bug 163513

This is a request to make the building of the sequencer-related modules
optional.
I am going to attach a patch to the ebuild that works fine at least for me.

alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc2.ebuild.diff

I was already planning this, but I wanted to make sure that alsa-lib wouldn't
break too many packages with midi disabled.
Plus, I'd like to get midi useflag enabled by default on profiles to retain the
previous behaviour.

In 1.0.14_rc2-r1 and 9999.
