The device name is read from the TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME environment variable.
Try "TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME=default timidity mymid.mid ..." or
"TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME=plughw:2 timidity mymid.mid ...".

Does creating a .wav file with Timidity actually work?

Okay. SOLVED!

And I'm printing this for future reference!!!

While a midi file is being played by timidity: in the Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol) go to the playback tab, select Show: AllStreams. The timidity app shows as using the internal speaker. Just select the USB device from the menu of devices.

Dead simple.... once you know.

Thanks all.
