Bug Description
After installing timidity, the daemon does not start. Pulseaudio complains in the syslog, that the directory /etc/timidity is not owned by the user running timidity (which is called timidity). Changing the ownership of /etc/timidity to timidity:timidity makes the pulseaudio start and the timidity daemon run, yet I'm not sure if this is the preferred solution for this issue.
Here's what pulseaudio put in the syslog before I changed the ownership of the folder.
