This was recently discussed: http://arunraghavan.net/2012/11/pulseconf-2012-report/ Does not look like anything has come of it yet. I guess it might make sense to ask advice from the PA guys though, they would hopefully have an idea. TomThanks Tom, I'll ask on their ML.
Thanks for the investigation.The only change I needed to do was add "/run/user/1000/pulse/native" (obtained from pactl info | grep 'Server String'). I believe it may be because mpd was connecting or trying to connect to different server (I also noticed "shm_unlink(/pulse-shm-2228832221) failed: No such file or directory" in the logs and thought something wrong with auto-detection of mpd).
