After reading that, as 'root' I did:

	mv /usr/lib/audacious/Input/timidity.so /tmp/tim

...after which 'audacious2' worked.  And Matti Hämäläinen reports fixing
that 'timidity.so' bug upstream.  Thanks guys!


(One reservation.  Apparently a buggy plugin caused the hang.  If so,
it seems the current plugin design might be needlessly fragile.  It
makes sense if I ran 'audacious foo.mid' that a buggy 'timidity.so'
would cause trouble, but even so, why must there be a crash with no
parameters at all, or with 'audacious foo.ogg'?)
