Running 13.04 amd64, also seems that it doesn't work for me to run the server.

I added myself to group 'audio' and when I run the timidity command as my user, I can successfully play DosBox games with midi through eawpats (oh the joy of midi I'm reliving some of my past games completely anew - The Lost Vikings being one example of great thinking, how it can use SOUND effects via MIDI interface thus enabling me to skip my sbpro config alltogether - that's great programming btw, on two floppies it fits).

Still no go with the config as server with groups.

I can configure in /etc/default/timidity that the user it runs as is my user then it works obviously that is not desired in a multi user setup... so I'd think. but that doesn't work directly either, to my surprise.

It only works if I start it manually as my user. Weird!

Maybe it's to do with timidity not having libao (pulseaudio) support compiled in by default on ubuntu?
