Following the instructions there:
Adding the line
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-Oe"
gives syntax errors when starting timidity.  I tried all the variants
that I could think of prefixing an opt, removing the quote etc -- no
use

So I try calling timidity by hand thus:
$ timidity -iA -Oe -s 44100
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 129:0 129:1 129:2 129:3

Ok so far
Now nted shows 8 midi ports
128:0 128:1 ... 129:0 ... 129:3

None of them work.
