I'm not sure that alsaconf is the problem, your card seems to be ok.
I noticed that when I try to set the number of output/capture channels
(-i/-o options) jack alsa drivers refuse to work. Try to set those values
to 0 in qjackctl or to avoid the -i/-o flags to jackd.

ALSA: cannot set channel count to 2 for capture
ALSA: cannot configure capture channel
cannot load driver module alsa


For the sequencer problem you may need to build the snd_seq* modules.
Here my modules list for an ice1712+NVidia CK804.
