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!

Not sure exactly what you mean by "configure" ...
But, in the pulse volume volume control app I have 2 output devices: "Built-in audio ..." which I have muted and "PCM2902..." which is the USB device. I've clicked on the "set as fallback" button, but that really doesn't seem to do anything.
Now if I do "aplay -l" I get 2 cards. Card 0 is the builtin; card 2 is the USB.If I simply do an "aplay file.wav" the file plays to the external device (I'm assuming that hitting <make default> might have something to do with this). So, figuring all is well ...timidity mymid.mid ... it plays, but no audio.timidity -Os ... same as abovetimidity -Od ... error "/dev/dsp: No such device. Couldn't open dsp device ('d').It's all crazy since the timidity manual states that -Od is the default ... yet specifying doesn't work.
Just checked /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg and it appears that everything there, other than sourcing some soundfonts, is out-commented.
What is really frustrating is that I know it worked before on this computer, and I remember having a time getting it to work, and I don't recall what I did :)
