mpd cannot connect to pulse

[morgon]

Hi,

I am setting up a new stretch-sytem from scratch and I have a surprising amount of problems. As usual sound is one of them.

mpd's output is configured such:

Code: Select all

audio_output {
        type            "pulse"
        name            "MPD Output"
        server          "localhost"             # optional
}

mpd runs but it cannot play any audio the log says

Code: Select all

Jul 09 00:17 : exception: Failed to open "MPD Output" [pulse] 
Jul 09 00:17 : exception: nested: failed to connect: Connection refused

mpd runs as my own user account.

What am I missing?


EDIT: Other applications (like vlc) play sound just fine

removing the "server" line from the mpd config solved the problem.

I don't get this anymore, but hey - it works (for now).
