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
