I changed the paths, recreated the files, gave them write permission and it started and then gave me this.

I wanted to do the same thing in Ubuntu Intrepid, but didn’t like the idea of making my PulseAudio open to the network. My alternative method can be found at: http://www.alanbriolat.co.uk/2009/03/mpd-pulseaudio-ubuntu-intrepid-810/

Thank you very much. Finally I can get mpd works properly with Pulseaudio, the trick of paprefs was what I need in my Fedora 10 box.

All the best

Same here. The actual quotes are different and need to be retyped then restarts fine. Great how to. Thanx.

Hi,

I got the same error message. I copy pasted and the “” are wrong, replace them by retyping them, and the problem is gone.

Of course, i have to remove the suggested section

audio_output {
type “pulse”
name “My MPD PulseAudio Output”
}

to make it startup ok.

Hi, when I add the audio_ouput section

i get the error message
improperly formatted config file at line 69: name

When I uncomment one of the predefined audio_output secions, the daeaon starts up fine.

Do you have any idea?
