Package: mpd
Version: 0.15.4-1
Severity: normal

If pulseaudio output is used for mpd, mpd starts a pulseaudio daemon
on startup. Now users can't play sound through pulseaudio.

The solution is to run pulseaudio as a system-wide daemon and add
mpd to the group pulse-access. But the pulseaudio documentation advises
against running it as a system-wide daemon, so this probably shouldn't be
the default for the pulseaudio package. 

For lack of a real solution - at least I don't see one - this problem
should at least be documented in the README.Debian and a hint added
to the comments regarding pulseaudio output in mpd.conf.

Cheers,
harry
