Package: timidity
Version: 2.14.0-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi there!  After the last update and reboot of my Sid system, I could no
longer hear sound output from any application.  I'm running per-user
PulseAudio, and ``pavucontrol`` said that no audio cards were being detected,
showing only a fake sink device.  The card was reported in ``dmesg``,
``lspi``, ``lsmod`` and ``alsamixer`` though.

Running ``fuser /dev/snd/*`` showed only the Timidity daemon having
``/dev/snd/controlC0`` open.  Stopping the Timidity daemon seemed to fix the
issue and running ``pavucontrol`` again reported the physical card.  Actually
I was then able to start the Timidity daemon again successfully without
breaking things.

Restarting the system made the Timidity daemon hold the card again until it
was stopped, so I stopped and disabled the daemon as a temporary workaround.

As I mentioned, this happened after a recent update and reboot, so the issue
may have been introduced by some update during June 2018.

Thank you very much!
