Music Player Daemon MPD
While XBMC uses the HDMI Audio Output, MPD should use Front-Audio to play movies (with sound on a TV) and music at the same time.Open /etc/mpd.conf with an Editor of your choice and find the commented lines and replace them as shown here.
#zeroconf_enabled "yes" zeroconf_enabled "yes" #zeroconf_name "Music Player" zeroconf_name "MAG Music Player" #default_permissions "read,add,control,admin" default_permissions "read,add,control,admin"Know that MPD is configures without a password. This is a security risk!
Setup your audio device. You must Change "mixer_control" to "Front", because "PCM" (which is default) doesn't influence the Volume. Comment out all
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0" # optional
format "44100:16:2" # optional
mixer_control "Front" # optional
}
Set permissions for mpd to use alsa and pulseusermod -a -G pulse-access mpd usermod -a -G audio mpdStop all instaces of mpd and create a Database. You should put music to /var/lib/mpd/music before you do that.
mpd --kill mpd --create-db
