In the PulseAudio wiki, they suggest to switch timidity output mode to "libao"

However, libao output is not built in the Ubuntu executable.

As of Ubuntu Maverick, I worked around this by starting timidity during the GNOME startup. It seems there is no more timidity maintainer since 2004 :(

What is strange is that, nowadays, when using PA with a dmix capable sound board, there is usually no problem at all mixing PA & alsa apps. I don't understand why, in some cases, the alsa app seems to "lock" the audio device. (the same occurs when using the oss->alsa wrapper).
