[LAU] Timidity on external USB

[Bob van der Poel]

Just to follow up on this:

- I have removed the timidity daemon
- I have tried to play as root. Nope.
- I have installed alsa-oss. No difference
- I have run the alsamixer program. The usb device is NOT muted (if it was
the wav file wouldn't sound either).

Running out of options!
