--- Comment #9 from Jan Matějka
As I mentioned, PA accesses the sound device exclusively.
So? There must be a way to make the mpd connect to other PA
Basically mpd is designed to be exclusive.
Not really. You can configure it to use different audio outputs
If you want to mix the output from mpd with others, it must be configured specially, no matter whether you use PA or not.
False. If you use alsa with dmix (which is now default on distributions using alsa) then you don't need to configure anything to mix it with anything else. I tried giving appropriate permissions to /var/run/user/<my-uid>/pulse and then symlink the mpd there but it ends up starting new pulseaudio anyway. I have to get back to this later. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
