ALSA is used for MIDI controller support, but is optional:
https://www.gimp.org/unix/howtos/gimp-midi.html

I don't have a MIDI controller to test this support using just the
facilities sound(4) provides, but given that audio/alsa-lib is an
unconditional dependency may suggest that just piping in the device file
doesn't work.
