"can we fix this plz - because it is 'stable' and does not work :(" No! No Fix! Just kidding :) Sorry for the delay, I moved recently, and completely missed this :/ I'll have it fixed in cvs shortly.
I'm commiting the fixes for the missing files, daniel the issue w/ ao_driver is related to permissions on the device file. That's not really mpd's area to be fooling with, added if your using udev the change would be wiped upon next reboot iirc. What exactly are the perms on /dev/snd/* for you? are you using alsa, or oss...
There seem to be couple of typos: - diropts -m0640 -o mpd -g audio - doins ${T}/blah mpd.log - doins ${T}/blah mpd.error.log + insopts -m0640 -o mpd -g audio + newins ${T}/blah mpd.log + newins ${T}/blah mpd.error.log Funny I can't use dmix while mpd is running: > ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:203:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-12360-1099080260-629622: Permission denied no wonder since > srw------- 1 mpd audio 0 Окт 29 23:04 /tmp/alsa-dmix-12360-1099080260-629622 Now how do I go about it?
I don't actually see this in -r1, but I do see it in -r2 which is the latest stable. Therefore, I've fixed it and all is good. ferringb was about to, but there was a cvs changeover and he had to go for the weekend, so I'm here to commit the changes for him. Thus said, if anything is wrong, yell at me :P. root@secures /usr/local/portage/gentoo-x86/media-sound/mpd # /etc/init.d/mpd start * Starting Music Player Daemon... [ ok ] so yah :P
