In the ALSA guide located here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml#alsa-utils


You list a command that doesn't really seem to be correct.

Code Listing 4.4: Using the default Timidity++ configuration file

# cp /usr/share/timidity/config/timidity.cfg /usr/share/timidity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------


After I emerged timidity++, the actual file location was
/usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg, so at the very least this command was not
needed.  However, I think it meant to copy the configuration file into
/etc/timidity.cfg


Thanks for your time,

Timidity++ now correctly installs a working config in /etc and the example cfg is indeed put in /usr/share/timidity

I've updated the guide to reflect this.
