Package: mpd Version: 0.13.1-3 Severity: minor I get out of the shower and hear horrible screeching growling tinny noise coming from my bedroom. Some form of something resembling music, but a) I didn't have the radio on and b) I don't own anything like that. WTF?
I realize the noise is coming from my laptop. Which is sitting at an xdm
login prompt. Which makes sense because it'd crashed for some reason and
I had typed in the LUKS passphrase and left it booting in disgust.
However, a laptop screeching death metal while sitting at a login
prompt == less sense than I'm used to from my computing equipment.
Eventual diagnosis after I logged in and started ncmpc and stopped my
ears ringing:
* It was playing a radio station that I rarely listen too, which was at
one of the more horrible parts of its pretty eclectic program.
* Last time I listened to that radio statio had to have been a month
ago.
* I generally don't keep mpd running on my laptop, since it prevents
catting files to /dev/audio and such, and since the laptop speakers
suck.
* I must have killed mpd while it was playing this radio station, a
month ago. And when I finally rebooted the laptop, it started back up
on boot, remembered its place, and treated me to a musical experience
I won't soon forget.
Suggestion: Store timestamp with state.
Auto-pause if current time - timestamp > SomeConfigurableValue.
Workaround: @reboot mpc pause
Silver lining: At least it wasn't Christian Death Metal.
