Hi,
I start mpd and aucat with default settings using rc scripts.
aucat thus runs as user _sndio and mpd runs as _mpd.
Access to sndio between mpd and programs running as a different user are
mutually exclusive, so when mpd is playing music nothing else can access
the sound device.
According to the aucat(1) manpage:
"[...] the server can be started by the super-user, [...] but for
privacy reasons only one user may have connections to it at a given
time."
I was wondering if this is intended behaviour because aucat here does
not run as root but as _sndio.
Best regards,
Jona
