 FYI, similar experiences here with 4.4R after prior success.
 Maybe same problem?

 In my case, after a second it stops and keeps holding on the second or
 third note, along with a low raspy note, until I kill the player app.
 I made a midi file containing only one very short note, and it sustained
 that note until killed, too.
 
 I was using timidity for days with great success, then this error
 started and I can't play any kind of sound file any more, with any app,
 not even cat a .au to /dev/audio.
 Just before it happened, I was using gtkmidi where I attempted to rewind
 a few times and changed the volume within gtkmidi and it stopped playing,
 froze, and I had to kill the app. Since then nothing can play sound files
 any more.
