[Musicpd-dev-team] pulseaudio configuration
I thought I'd give xubuntu 9.10 a try, and it seems to use pulseaudio now. I'm having a bit of trouble getting mpd to work with it. When mpd tries to play, it launches its own pulseaudio instance. This works fine as far as mpd is concerned - it's able to play to it - but there's no sound. I guess my own user pulseaudio instance has a lock on that? I know the pulseaudio output plugin has been in active development lately, so I'm hoping someone out there has dealt with this. Thanks, Jeffrey -- Come build with us!

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] pulseaudio configuration
Yeah, I thought of this, and network access, and system-wide pulseaudio. Uninstalling pulseaudio works pretty well too. Just wondering if there's a non-workaround solution.

Just wondering if there's a non-workaround solution. Running MPD as your user is usually not a good idea. The real problem is that you have two PulseAudio instances, fighting over exclusive access to your sound card. Don't run two. Make MPD use the one single system-wide daemon. Don't ask me how, I've never used PulseAudio except during MPD development. -- Come build with us!

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] pulseaudio configuration
None of these are really good options: * run mpd as your user - security * network access to pulseaudio - kludge at best * system-wide pulseaudio daemon - tons of problems: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode I guess it's just not meant to be! Fortunately I don't really have any need to use pulseaudio. Thanks y'all!
