Highly likely, since on my Ubuntu 16.04, my "native" Gimp 2.8 can open 
/dev/snd/seq  (using the Python console), while the flatpak 2.10 elicits 
the "No such file or directory" error. The Flatpak version has other 
restrictions: its own /tmp (so cannot excahnge files  with other apps), 
its own Python runtime, its own "recent documents" file...

But the, why are you using the flatpack version on the Rpi...
