Hi,
I installed Debian stable, then installed xbmc, and invoke it with an init script found here (can provide if needed). I added a xbmc user to the system, and made it a member of groups plugdev, audio, video.
When I start up the system, xbmc starts up, but there's no audio from the user interface, and when I try to play a video or audio file, it freezes. At this point, I need to restart it using the same init script (or stop, then start it) and when it starts back up there's no issue at all. I chmod -x mpd's init script just in case to troubleshoot going forward.
I turned on debug and the first startup looks like this http://pastebin.com/BdEbbLDy
The second instance looks like this: http://pastebin.com/Ktm89KjU
The difference between the two, as far as I understand it, is that in the second, there's a mention of ALSA meaning it's working properly. I tried adding a sleep 30 to the init script to make sure ALSA was available (xbmc already starts last), but all that did was add 30 seconds to my routine of restarting the application.
I'm hoping somebody has experienced this, or has some idea what next steps are.
Thanks
