I have tried what Daniel Ellis has suggested (very nice details!), and
had the same results on Jaunty.

Timidity daemon doesn't play nice with pulse audio

I have been testing this on Karmic and so far have come up with the
following conclusions (please correct me if any of these are not
correct):
- Out of the box timidity and pulse audio cannot play at the same time.
- Restarting timidity (sudo /etc/init.d/timidity restart) gets timidity to work

Looks like the -B2,8 argument may cause a 40% CPU usage. Could be another cause
for the issue.
If it's quite common, then I guess it can simply be removed from the
/etc/init.d/timidity script.
People may prefer it to not be run as root, although that's a bit different
topic.

Timidity daemon
Another way to fix this might be to have pulseaudio run as a system-wide daemon
instead of a per-user instance. This can be accomplished by changing the
PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0 line in /etc/default/pulseaudio to
PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1. This should make pulseaudio start before the
timidity
The program in question for me is Sibelius, which also has a delay.
Perhaps you can play around with optional switches when restarting
timidity... for example, the manpage for timidity says that the switch
"F" can introduce a delay. This may or may not solve the problem.

Timidity daemon doesn
Btw, for the moment I use tuxguitar 1.1(the ubunutu package from their
homepage) and I use gervill which is the default sound in tuxguitar now,
no timidity+sound font. It sounds not bad, the latency is ok and there
aren't problems with pulseaudio. Maybe you can give it a try.

Thanks, restarting timidity also works, but again, the latency will be
worse than before.(a played note gets first red and then you hear the
note, when there is a fast song you do not hear the highlightened notes,
but these which were 0.5 sec. ago) 0.5 doesn't sound much, but in fact,
when you try
I believe this is because TiMidity is loaded prior to the Pulseaudio
sound server.
I fixed this problem by restarting the timidity session: sudo
/etc/init.d/timidity restart
After that, all MIDI-out wavemapping worked perfectly, and my program
(in my case, Sibelius 4.x) did not steal focus from F
Maybe you can take a look at my bugreport, because this issue still
happens in Jaunty

On Intrepid Ibex I have the same problem, timidity does not connect to
pulseaudio. When other music applications work(and they work perfectly with
pulseaudio) i get no sound from timidity in tuxguitar.
When I first start playing a file in tuxguitar(so with timidity), the other
applications like
