[Bug 364475] Re: MPD Prevents Other Applications from Using Audio while not stopped

[blahde]

I am experincing the same Problem on karmic now.

When I am playing any sort of sound in any other application the mpd log comes up with the message:
"output: Failed to open "My ALSA Device" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "hw:0,0": Device or resource busy" when i am hitting the Play button in a local or remote Client.

Than if I exit all programs accessing ALSA, after a few seconds MPD is
willing to play music. But than (as described in the title) all the
other applications are muted.

This was not the case on jaunty. I did not use pulse on Jaunty, in order
to get my external soundcard working I had only ALSA installed and I am
pretty sure that I heard pidgin notifications while listening to music
in MPD. Now I can't test it anymore, cause i have replaced jaunty with
karmic.

The only changes i made in the mpd.conf was that I set the mixer_type to
softare, but changing it back to hardware does not solve the issue.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
