Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] [OT?] MPRIS and MPD
http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/MPD_INSTALL_USER_SERVICE_UBUNTU seems to be the best way to run mpd on systems with pulseaudio. My use case is a machine where we usually have 3 users logged in at the same time (on different virtual terminals), so that's not a good solution. 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). The pulseaudio's why you shouldn't use system wide PA seems to apply to my case, so I'd rather not go there either. (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) That's still basically a system-wide setup, then (where you share a single PA instance between different users). Basically, from reading PA's documentation, I think the ideal setup for me would have one PA process per user, and and then combine the result via some kind of additional layer (ALSA dmix or somesuch, I don't know, nor would I know how to set up such a thing).

I cannot imagine any advantage of MPRIS over the MPD protocol. the only advantage is that kde now playing plasmoid will not support mpd: i opened a bug report that ended as wontfix, saying they only want to support mpris. so having the bridge is nice, if someone writes a native support that gets merged in mpd it's even better. jérôme -- 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.

I cannot imagine any advantage of MPRIS over the MPD protocol. If somebody would submit native MPRIS for MPD, I would probably merge it (if the code is good), but for me, it's pointless and not worth my own time. A bridge such as described in the article above is a good solution for people who feel they need MPRIS until then.
