Ok, your MPD starts as a service _but_ is it started as a _user_ service or system (with it's own user?). I've found that Debian starts it as a user service. In Slackware I just start it on the cli as user and all is sweet. (None of that systemd shenanigans in Slack). I can make an /etc/rc.d/rc.mpd file to run it as a system service which may have advantages.
The problem I've found is that I can start it as user 'mpd' (with his home in /var/lib/mpd, setup with no password) and it runs fine but I get exceptions in the log because there is no sound service that it can use (pipewire or pulse). Maybe I could run it through alsa. Need to do some more research on this but for now as user it is and as said it's sweet.
Maybe some code this weekend. Maybe 😆
@jloc0 any ideas?
