I'm new to Debian and this is my first bug report, so tell me if something is
wrong or missing. ;)
After trying out MPD for the first time everything worked great, but then I
realized that other apps stopped playing sound (I realized it with flash).
So I stopped MPD playback, restarted the browser and tried again. This time
flash had sound, but MPD couldn't play and the logfile showed:
Feb 05 23:48 : output: Failed to open "My ALSA Device" [alsa]: Failed to open
ALSA device "hw:0,0": Device or resource busy
Feb 05 23:48 : player_thread: problems opening audio device while playing
"free/stockfinster/sunset/stockfinster. - verge.mp3"
After more abusing of Google (the first one was to find out how to use the damn
thing in the first place and finding a nice client ;) ) I endet up in some
Ubuntu Forum and found the following fix.
In MPD conf I uncommented all optional lines from the ALSA output config like
this:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
# device "hw:0,0" # optional
# format "44100:16:2" # optional
# mixer_device "default" # optional
# mixer_control "PCM" # optional
# mixer_index "0" # optional
}
Now all apps, including MPD, play with each other without anyone trying to play
king of the hill.
I'm not sure why that worked - but since it did I'll put that question on my
todo-list for later...
My system is a Fujitsu/Siemens laptop with onboard intel sound:
$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)
Are these optional lines included in the MPD config by default for a good
reason?
Otherwise it may be a good idea to comment them by default, since they seem to
produce a serious problem for some users.
