Package: mpd
Version: 0.13.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I used mpd as a Internet Radio, streaming my music throught Icecast,
with the "shout" type audio output.
It works almost perfectly, because there's a small problem with the
"Play" functionnality : if I stop the music in mpd, wait few minutes and
then restart it, I got this in my mpd/error.log file :

    Jan 10 16:46 : Lost shout connection to localhost:8088 : Socket error
    Jan 10 16:46 : problems opening audio device while playing "..."
    Jan 10 16:46 : problems opening audio device while playing "..."

(localhost:8088 is the network address on which Icecast is listening, as
specified in my mpd.conf file)

... and I need to press play several times before mpd starts to play
sound. Sometimes, I need to press play about ten times!


This bug has been reported upstream (see [1]) and it has been fixed in
severals SVN commit (which are reported in [1]).
There's also a workaround in [1] (using a dummy audio output).
However, I would like to know if it's possible to backport those fixes
into the Debian package, because it's a strange and irritating behavior
(since mpd release are not frequent).


Thanks for considerating this (it might be tagged as 'wishlist' instead
of 'important' but this is a real problem, so ...)

Thanks,

 - Jonathan
