https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501051 This happens when using the pulseaudio alsaplugin (that is with /etc/asound.conf: pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } pulseaudio has code to detect fork in childs. I don't know the reason but it seems it avoid issues. The patch from fedora move the fork from the child to the parent thus avoid to trigger the assert. >> There is also the need for to add timidity user to pulse-rt group.

As timidity runs as its own user it need to be in the pulse-rt group for to have access to pulseaudio daemon. But forget about this one. I found out that with current pulseaudio default in debian that is to run a pulseaudio server for the user in the X session this leads to other issues (device already used as well with this setup each user including timidity trigger a new pulseaudio and only one can have access to the hardware at the same time). Thus it is needed but would only work with someone which has enabled pulseaduio to run as a system service. In the mean time the only way to have timidity talk to the pulseaudio daemon that runs as the user owning the X session is to run timidity as this user too). >> Otherwise dreaded >> permission error is fired up when playing through timidity.

I was just telling for if someone read this report to get timidity+pulseaudio running . So one would have complete instructions.
