--- Comment #1 from Maximilien Noal <noal.maximilien at gmail.com> ---
I have the same problem.
I use PulseAudio and Timidity++
I have /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop to start PA (provided by the
pulseaudio package)
I have .config/autostart/timidity.desktop to start Timidity++ (created with
xfce4-sessions-settings => Automatic Startup)

Sometimes, PA starts *before* Timidity++, and I have sound (which is what
should happen).
Other times, PA starts *after* Timidity++, and I have no sound at all (which is
what should *not* happen)

Here is my workaround :
I have removed .config/autostart/timidity.desktop and disabled
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop with xfce4-sessions-settings => Automatic
Startup
I have created with xfce4-sessions-settings an entry called "start sound
systems", which launches ~/bin/audio.sh

~/bin/audio.sh contains the following :
start-pulseaudio-x11 &
sleep 5
xfce4-volumed-pulse &
timidity -iAD -Os &
pnmixer &

I'm using Archlinux, if that's relevant.
