snd_seq_free_event() is used in ALSAMidiDriver::read() but it's obsoleted.

[Takashi Sakamoto]

The snd_seq_free_event() has been no meaning since 2000. See this commit:
New light-weight event handling
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=a7f3ff4a4f3531c98a7875d9789b49a0dc56ab36

Currently snd_seq_event_input() give a pointer to a cell of inner-buffer.
This buffer is kept by snd_seq_open() and released by snd_seq_close().
The size of this buffer is retrieved by snd_seq_get_input_buffer_size() and changed by snd_seq_set_output_buffer_size().

Really needs an upgrade:
- 1.14 now released https://github.com/amsynth/amsynth
- ubuntu/debian outdated (buggy 1.6.4) and debian homepage deprecated

Fixed in at least Disco with amsynth 1.8.0-1
