Updated to beta3 today and I noticed that mpd stopped playing audio because of xbmc hogging all the audio.
Anyone know a fix for this?

Would greatly appreciate an answer on this.
I cannot be the only one running xbmc and mpd side by side

I've run those two programs side by side for years and now with the new audio engine it just doesn't work anymore.
Before I could choose ALSA with a custom device in the audio system settings in xbmc, that seems to no longer be possible as I can only choose my soundcard directly.

Look at AE's advancedsettings.xml.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Aud...d_settings
Your looking to adding:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<streamsilence>0</streamsilence>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>
That will release audio hogging from XBMC.

You did restart xbmc after adding that?
If it doest work its probably not reading the advancedsettings.xml.
Anyway I cant test it either way.

That function is not currently enabled on ALSA - it was exposing some odd behaviour in the ALSA kernal, so has been by-passed for now (works on Windows only). We're hoping a fix there will be in place for 12.1.

If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

nope, it won't work. Alsa sinks are not suspended/freed at all atm. Needs some work in AE.

You can try with a build from end of November or so - it was still active then.

Thank you for the reply. Guess I'll have to make due without mpd until 12.1
