as pulseaudio is run as the logged-in user, the fix is to also run mpd
as the logged-in user, which is what will happen automatically if you
disable mpd as a system service and provide your own ~/.mpdconf - see
README.Debian for details

** Changed in: mpd (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  mpd no access to soundcard using pulseaudio

Status in mpd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  Version info:

  uname -r: 2.6.24-8-generic
  pulseaudio Version: 0.9.9-1ubuntu2
  mpd : Version: 0.13.1-3ubuntu1

  After changing from esound to pulseaudio, MPD is not able to access
  the sound card.

  MPD logs the following errors in /var/log/mpd/errors.log:

  No protocol specified
  E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed
  *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Access denied

  By giving "xhost +" and restarting mpd the XOpenDisplay() error
  disappears, but the error regarding PULSEAUDIO still persists.

  This happend using the latest ubuntu gutsy as of 16.02.2008, as well
  as the current Hardy.

  Pulseaudio was installed using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio on
  gutsy, and the system was upgraded to hardy using update-manager.

  I have added mpd and root to all pulseaudio groups (pulse, pulse-
  access, pulse-rt), but this did not solve the problem.

  Xine works using native pulse output and mythtv works using
  "ALSA:default" output device.

  Regards,

  Rune
