Hi, as the acting maintainer of mpd in Debian I'd be interested to discuss ways to resolve the diff between Ubuntu and Debian wrt. mpd. As far as I can see, what's left is the apport hook (which I could just add in the next upload), making avahi-daemon a Recommends: rather than a Suggests: (why is that necessary?), and finally the patch to the init script to 'chown $USER:audio $PIDDIR' - that one is wrong, I think, because mpd should run either as a system service under the mpd user, or run from the user's session based on ~/.mpdconf and logging to as well as working with user-accessible paths, preferably under ~/.mpd. This should also fix pulseaudio issues. There's preliminary support for that in an mpd.desktop file that gets put into examples currently, and it would mean disabling mpd on system startup (at least on new installs).
Would that be a solution, or is the "Read mpd user from mpd.conf" patch meant to accomplish something entirely different?
