 Seems kind of odd to talk about integrating with shiny new Ubuntu/Unity,
 given the whole pulseaudio deal. Unless something has changed and I didn't
 notice, Ubuntu uses pulseaudio, which runs per-user, so you can't really
 get mpd to work right with log in/out without jumping through some hoops.
 (Maybe, hopefully, I've missed something?)

 Any pointers to a good description of the problem and the possible
 solutions/workarounds would be welcome, BTW.

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)

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] server to server connection

2009/10/26 Steffen 'stefreak' Neubauer stefr...@stefreak.de:

snip

 daap is proprietary and i think we don't want to get issues with
 apple because of it's licensing
 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Access_Protocol#Description).
 Further we had to look at itunes regularly if the protocol has changed
 or such.. i don't think daap is an alternative.

I don't think there would be a need to keep up to date with iTunes'
implementation, only with other open source implementations. Don't
know how others would feel about this though, and I'm not clear on the
licensing issues either. I do know that Tangerine, Banshee, Rhythmbox
and amaroK (and others I think) support daap at the moment.

 That's not good enough imo :/ and it's client/server again, isn't it?

Yes the client and server parts can be implemented separately,
although I think mpd acting as a daap server could be very
straightforward. Effectively p2p is just a client and a server at both
ends, there is no real difference.
I don't have time to attempt to implement this at the moment though,
and I don't know if anyone else would be interested in doing so.

 Hmm it must be validated if it really is already there...

Yes, I'm not certain this is the best solution at all, just thought it
was worth mentioning as a possibility.
