In fact I had to add the server line (not shown below, that's what I added to audio_output to make it work as currently, along with adding 'load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1' to /etc/pulse/default.pa music_directory "/home/data/mp3" playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists" db_file "~/.mpd/mpd.db" log_file "~/.mpd/mpd.log" pid_file "~/.mpd/mpd.pid" state_file "~/.mpd/mpdstate" user "ngoonee" bind_to_address "127.0.0.1" gapless_mp3_playback "yes" restore_paused "yes" input { plugin "curl" } audio_output { type "pulse" name "MPD Pulse Output" }
