My first impression when reading #17 was that it shouldn't be necessary to use system mode for PulseAudio to get mpd to work right. In Jaunty I had it working as desired without changing /etc/default/pulseaudio. The mpd wiki page referenced above seems to say that mpd can launch pulseaudio itself as needed... however the suggestions there didn't help in Karmic.
In Karmic, running pulseaudio in system mode seems to be required to use mpd as a server that keeps running regardless of whether a desktop user is logged in. For mpd to work with pulse in system mode I had to add the tcp setting mentioned above in comment #8 to /etc/pulse/system.pa (not default.pa, which would be used for user mode). -- mpd no access to soundcard using pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192735 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
