I have tested on Kubuntu 19.04:

1. After installing timidity-daemon, the timidity user is automatically created and added to the audio group. After reboot, the primary audio output device is inaccessible in PulseAudio.
2. After removing timidity user from audio group and rebooting, PulseAudio is able to use all audio output devices, as expected. I don't know how to test whether timidity works.
3. Purging timidity-daemon and timidity packages does *not* remove the timidity user. So, if the packages were installed before, after purging the user stays in the system and in the audio group. You have to manually remove the user (either completely or just from the audio group) using deluser. I think, that the user stays in the system may be a bug on its own.
