I'm trying to get my laptop set up for gigging so got a little USB
audio device. It seems to be fine with PulseAudio and sounds much
better than the built-in audio on the laptop.

I can set set pulseaudio to use the USB and problems like aplay and
rhythmbox use it. No problem.

But, timidity (from a command line) just continues to play though the
internal card.

I can bypass with a command:

         timidity file.mid -Ow -o - | aplay

and this works okay. It might be a good solution since aplay always
seems to select the "correct" port. Only problem is that I do get a
message (I think from timidity) "Illegal Seek: Can't make valid
header". Probably save to ignore.

I'm looking for a selector in timidity to pick the audio port?

Oh ... just figured it out. If I use -Oa it works just fine since this
sends it to the alsa port.

I'll post the message anyway just in case I forget or someone else is stuck.
