Greetings, I have recently started using mpd, and I do not "see" it anywhere in my pulse clients or applications. $ dpkg -l mpd pulseaudio ii mpd 0.15.10-1 Music Player Daemon ii pulseaudio 0.9.21-1.2+b1 PulseAudio sound server Config file snippet (mpd.conf): audio_output { type "pulse" name "My Pulse Output" # server "remote_server" # optional # sink "remote_server_sink" # optional } Music is playing. (trust me ;) $ pulseaudio --check && echo "pulse is running" pulse is running gnome-sound-applet -> right-click -> Sound Preferences -> Applications: No application is currently playing or recording audio. $ pactl list | grep mpd || echo "Nothing" Nothing When I try to: $ paplay some.wav The volume of mpd is diminished, but not silenced and the wav file does not play. I hit ^C to get the terminal back. FWIW, paplay shows in the "Applications" section listed above when I run the command. Any ideas what I have misconfigured here? Thanks for the help.
