Today I could fix that one.
First I followed the instructions from this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1143874.html (monsterstacks
2nd Post). Including uncommenting the "user" line and putting in the
name of my regular user account. But that didn't do any change except
the fact that I can now start mpd as a normal user, so I went on with
that settings.
Afer I commented all #optional lines from audio_output {} it worked. Now
when I use the gnome audio-settings to change to my 2nd external
Soundcard mpd switches to that card, even without a restart. That is
really nice.
Here is how my audio output section in the mpd.conf looks like now:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
#device "hw:0,0" # optional
#format "44100:16:2" # optional
#mixer_device "default" # optional
#mixer_control "PCM" # optional
#mixer_index "0" # optional
}
I am not sure if the changes concerning the user that is running mpd are
necessary or if the changes in the audio_output section did it all. I am
just happy that it is workin now. I am not sure if this is a general bug
of MPD in Ubuntu, it maybe related to my System (Samsung NC10) or my
stupidity. But maybe MPD should be setup so that it is not run as root.
