probably "14:0" is not the timidity port name. It exposes a port
visible with aconnect -o, "128:0" in the example below:

$ aconnect -o
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 128: 'TiMidity' [type=user]
    0 'TiMidity port 0 '
    1 'TiMidity port 1 '
    2 'TiMidity port 2 '
    3 'TiMidity port 3 '

Do you get something similar with your setup ?
