rosegarden4 no sound

[Joe Mc Cool <joe@benburb.demon.co.uk>]

Please,

sarge, 2.6 kernel, alsa

I can get sound from neither rosegarden4 (wow, _what_ a program,
thanks a lot) nor kmid.  I can play midi files fine using timidity.

The midi settings for rosegarden4 look sensible to me.  The details:

My hours and hours of googling led me to believe that I needed to load
a sound font.  So I downloaded one and featured this line in my
/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg file:

	soundfont /u/usr/joe/kawaisterogrand.sf2

I then fired up, as root, timidity as a server:

	timidity -iA &

lsmod | grep snd gives:
