This bug still needs fixing. Since mpd is now run by default per-user, if system mpd is disabled, the fix would require a patch to mpd's source code to have it try PulseAudio before ALSA. This would have the disadvantage stated in comment #15 that it could result in PulseAudio being started for a user who doesn't want it, but I suggest that such users are relatively rare compared to those who use the default Ubuntu setup, and we can put a note in README.Debian about how to configure mpd to avoid this.
At the same time, /etc/mpd.conf should be modified to comment out explicit configuration of ALSA. If this is acceptable to the maintainers, I'm happy to work out the (trivial) patch (or perhaps it should go to Debian if Debian uses PulseAudio by default; Florian, I guess you'll know?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374059 Title: mpd is not configured to use pulseaudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpd/+bug/374059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
