I attempted to post this once already but managed to reply only to Jeffrey (sorry)... http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/MPD_INSTALL_USER_SERVICE_UBUNTU seems to be the best way to run mpd on systems with pulseaudio. Another option is setting up the system wide pulseaudio daemon (and it's possible to use mpdris to control/monitor an MPD instance running remotely, which still applies even without any hoop-jumping). (Yet another possibility which I didn't think of before is setting up pulseaudio cookies for the mpd user and any real users that might need sound at the same time as mpd) -- Matt Wheeler m...@funkyhat.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
