Hi Iain:

  I just took a look at the audio preferences for 2.0.2, there's no
provision for anything ALSA. :(

  The other options offered were /dev/sequencer, /dev/sequencer2,
/dev/music, and none. Selecting /dev/sequencer2 and /dev/music gave me
error messages, /dev/sequencer was selected without error but I got no
sound from the test. No MIDI activity appeared on my patchbay.

  The Solfege Web site includes instructions for wedding timidity to
/dev/music. Didn't work for me though, I still received the error for
/dev/music.

Best,
