problem still exist on hardy alpha 6 live cd by default.
if you run mpd as a user, with settings:
user "ubuntu"
audio_output {
type "pulse"
driver "esd"
options "host=localhost"
name "esd"
}
then you can succesfully get sound to play through mpd whilst another
app is using the soundcard. putting the user mpd into the same groups or
whatever may fix the problem I guess. This is the best solution i know
as of now. mpd properly uses pulse and other apps can use pulse too, in
any order
in my current set up mpd needs to start after pulse otherwise it wont
play any sound. It will instantly skip through the entire playlist
playing nothing. So i guess this is a problem for running mpd as a
daemon (I'm unable to test right now) as then it would start far before
pulse.
note: if pulseaudio isnt playing anything, the default settings do play sound,
but this isnt good enough, and it doesnt appear in pulseaudio volume control
note: if you use the default settings (except change user to ubuntu),
and nothing else is using the soundcard, mpd will play but then no other
app will be able to play sound. however if something else IS already
using the sound card then it will follow along and use pulse too.
