To reproduce:
install linux mint 17 cinnamon edition (not sure if other editions are affected)
install mpd
configure mpd to use pulse audio by commenting out the lines related to alsa:
#audio_output {
# type "alsa"
# name "My Sound Card"
# mixer_type "software" # optional
#}
configure mpd to use pulse audio by uncommenting the lines related to pulse:
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "MPD PulseAudio Output"
# sink "your-sink-name-here" # optional
}
There are some errors in mpd.log if you restart pulseaudio and mpd and try to
play some song. They are related to "permission denied"
MPD still cannot access pulseaudio. You must now add mpd to these groups.
sudo usermod -a -G pulse-access mpd
sudo usermod -a -G pulse mpd
restart the system
Now MPD can use pulseaudio.
Desired behavior:
install linux mint 17 cinnamon edition
install mpd
Use mpd because it should be configured to connect to pulseaudio by default
without any problems like literally every other sound application.
