I have tested on Kubuntu 19.04:

1. After installing timidity-daemon, the timidity user is automatically created 
and added to the audio group. After reboot, the primary audio output device is 
inaccessible in PulseAudio.
2. After removing timidity user from audio group and rebooting, PulseAudio is 
able to use all audio output devices, as expected. I don't know how to test 
whether timidity works.
3. Purging timidity-daemon and timidity packages does *not* remove the timidity 
user. So, if the packages were installed before, after purging the user stays 
in the system and in the audio group. You have to manually remove the user 
(either completely or just from the audio group) using deluser. I think, that 
the user stays in the system may be a bug on its own.
