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 sometimes play guitar along to music and if I need to transpose or speed it up or slow it down I need to open another program. It'd be nice to just enable an effect plugin instead. It is possible to attach filter plugins to an output, but there is no existing filter plugin for what you want. However, it should be simple enough to write one. The filter plugin API has not been used much so far. Where is the filter plugin API documented, or where can I find examples of existing filters? Searches of the wiki and man page give nothing.
