Comment 11 for bug 192735

No, I did only have this one line. There was a similar line without the "auth", but it was commented out.

But after doing a apt-get remove --purge on all pulseaudio packages, and installing them again using
"apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-modules-gconf", and starting up pulseaudio from the command line, I got everything working.

I now autostart pulseaudio in XFCE, and both mythtv and mpd shares the sound card.

Mythtv is configured with ALSA:default,
 and mpd with
audio_output {
 # use the pulse output
    type "pulse"
 # name
    name "My Pulse Device"
 }

The only thing now is that I have to restart the mpd service, probably because pulseaudio is is not available when the mpd script is run.
