Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry about the trouble. I realize this was a long time ago, but do you still have logs of the terminal output when installing timidity? If you're lucky, one of the /var/log/
It also looks like you have a locally-modified ALSA installation. Is this intentional, and did you change anything in particular there? I've seen a couple of other bugs where the timidity-daemon initscript will crash if ALSA is configured incorrectly (and so the daemon cannot start).
