Fixed now in the Subversion repository at Sourceforge:
trunk, revision #7319
branch: stable_1_2_4, revision #7320

Applied your patch, slightly modified.

If the ALSA sequencer (/dev/snd/seq) is not available at startup,
Rosegarden doesn't crash. The sequencer process falls into the DummyDriver, 
and the GUI can still be used for notation purposes.
