No sound from Timidity in Fedora 8 unless root

Does anyone know why I'm not getting any sound from Timidity in Fedora 8 (Gnome 2.20.3) unless I run the line command as root? I have this release installed-
Name   : timidity++
Arch   : i386
Version: 2.13.2
Release: 14.fc8

Any ideas? It's obviously a permissions problem, but there appears to be universal read access to the config and soundfonts. I didn't get anything from the Fedora Forum that I could use-

Thanks,
Mark.

F8 uses ACLs on sound files and devices. Is your session correctly
registered with the Consolekit?

IIRC, FC8 uses Pulseaudio, which wants to monopolize the sound card. Maybe  
using the libao output backend to output to pulseaudio would work ('-OO -o
pulseaudio' switches or something like that).
