	Yes, why have I not done this before?

# lsof | grep /dev/snd/
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs

	Now, this is interesting, as some reported troubles between Timidity
and Pulseaudio (e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154002).
I have no problem with Timidity and Pulseaudio on other Debian 10
systems, as well on Fedora or Ubuntu. Anyway, I should investigate this.

	Best regards.
