Hi Rustom
According to http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#TiMidity

TiMidity++ <http://timidity.sourceforge.net/> supports either libao or Esound. You can use switches to select the choosen audio output:

% timidity -Oe<file.mid>  #Esound
% timidity -OO<file.mid>  #libao

If that doesn't work you could always try to use pasuspender

I am currently trying to use ubuntu karmic.
And it appears that in moving to using pulseaudio many things which
were working are now broken -- hopefully temporarily :-)

In particular timidity which used to work nicely does not work easily
in a pulseaudio system.
There are all sorts of suggestions about how to make it work but so
far Ive not succeeded.

The pulseaudio mailing list directed me to read the ubuntuwiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats#timidity

Now while the basic idea: make timidity use the esound protocol
instead of alsa may be fine the suggestions there are evidently wrong
in that timidity is giving syntax errors when I try them.

Are those suggestions correct? Or am I misunderstanding something?

There is a small correction (my post on pulseaudio list)
