[Bug 469441] Re: no other-sound when switching user

[MrMagne]

I think there is a philosophical problem between mpd and pulseaudio. How can a systemwide mpd use a user pulseaudio server without having any troubles at all ??? Two solution come in mind:
* Configure pulseaudio systemwide, which is definitely not recommended by its devs.
* Configure mpd to be a per user instance.
As pulseaudio is now the default in any ubuntu installation, I think mpd should be configured to be a user service. (see http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/MPD_INSTALL_USER_SERVICE_UBUNTU for example), and configured by default to use pulseaudio.

Maybe this is not the good place to discuss this... but what would be
the good place ?
